Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 October 2015
OPEN ACCESS conference in Genoa on Bioimaging
Sala del Maggior Consiglio , Palazzo Ducale, Piazza De Ferrari, Genoa.
 
The purpose of this meeting is to bring together Italian and European researchers working in the wider field of non-linear microscopy, optical nanoscopy, biophotonics and their applications to key research areas like neuroscience and diseases studies, and to provide a forum to share the latest experimental methods and findings in an informal atmosphere. We kindly request that you register in order to optimize logistic. There is NO registration fee.
The Conference will cover the following topics:
 
·         Super-resolution Microscopy (SRM)
·         STED (cw and MPE)
·         SIM
·         STED and FLIM
·         Advanced Microscopy applications
·         Single-molecule spectroscopy
·         Multiplex imaging
·         Optogenetics and other advanced neuroscience techniques
·         Developments in Advanced Microscopy
·         Adaptive optics
·         Light sheet microscopy
·         Frequency mixing
·         CARS/SRS

Yet another conference that appears to have no or very few women speakers.

Alberto, in case my reading of unfamiliar names is incorrect,  could you give us the fraction of the speakers that are male.

Thanks, Jeremy, for noticing the imbalance.

The omission is not conscious, but the remedy has to be conscious -- this goes for any of us organizing symposia or meetings.  Fortunately there are easy solutions -- e.g. include women in the organizing committee<http://mbio.asm.org/content/5/1/e00846-13>, and invite more women.

If the problem is that women don't "come to mind," beyond two or three that probably get too many invitations to accept them all, speaker lists can help jog the memory. A compendium of lists is here<https://mcb.berkeley.edu/labs/king/node/11>.

As we are in a rather interdisciplinary field, I feel that even these lists don't cover microscopy as well as they could.

Does anyone know if there is a comparable list of women in advanced microscopy & image analysis?
