- Where are the women speakers in the sciences? By Laura Booth.
Hi Jonathan, Love your blog and the YAMMM series in particular. I just got sent an add for a conference in Berlin next year, Innovative Genomics Summit where 12 speakers were announced, all male (women are not innovative as you know). I complained and they promptly added 2 speakers, 1 female and 1 male. I was glad they reacted (although a 1:13 ratio is not good) but I wonder whose complaint they were adressing when the added yet another male speaker. Can send you the ads If you are intrested.
