The UC Noyce launch of the Ann S. Bowers Women's Brain Health Initiative (WBHI) launched at The Tech Interactive in San Jose on November 16, 2023. World-class scientists from five University of California campuses, including researchers from the Geometric Intelligence Lab at UC Santa Barbara, united to share their cutting-edge research with the public. The director of the Geometric Intelligence Lab, Nina Miolane, was appointed as the director of the Artificial Intelligence branch of the WBHI. The WBHI integrates research activities across campuses in fields such as neuroimaging, artificial intelligence and healthcare to advance women's brain health which has been under-researched despite being relevant to the health of half the world's population.
