Women in microscopy

The 30 odd speakers for the

International Conference "Trends in Microscopy 2014" March 27th -29th in Freiburg/Germany

Includes not even a single women.

Is this a record ?

Statistically women are squeezed out from the hierarchy of science and male only speaker lists are clearly part of the problem.

Dear colleagues,

I like to draw your attention to the following upcoming event

International Conference
Trends in Microscopy 2014
“Keeping pace with techniques, increasing resolution and data flood“ March 27th -29th in Freiburg/Germany sponsored by the German research Foundation (DFG)

All information can be found on the following

http://www.imaging.uni-freiburg.de/TIM2014.php

This 3 day conference has an excellent selection of the following 30
speakers:
Fernando Amat (Janelia Farms), Emmanuel Beaurepaire (Paris), Jörg Bewersdorf (Yale), Christoph Cremer (Mainz), Winfried Denk (Munich), Rainer Heintzmann (Jena), Stefan Hell (Göttingen), Lars Hufnagel (Heidelberg), Jan Huisken (Dresden), Kai Johnsson (Lausanne), Eric Jorgensen (Salt Lake City), Bram Koster (Leiden), Ulrich Kubitscheck (Bonn), Urban Liebel (Karlsruhe), Pablo Loza-Alvarez (Barcelona), Ulrich Nienhaus (Karlsruhe) Douglas Richardson (Cambridge), Alexander Rohrbach (Freiburg), Olaf Ronneberger (Freiburg), Markus Sauer (Würzburg) Walter Schubert (Magdeburg), Heinz Schwarz (Tübingen), Hari Shroff (Bethesda), Ernst Stelzer (Frankfurt) Jason Swedlow (Dundee), Pavel Tomancak (Dresden), Rainer Uhl (Munich), Paul Verkade (Bristol), Roger Wepf (Zuerich), Alipasha Vaziri (Vienna)

The conference brings together leading High-end microscope techniques developers and users from Germany with their world-wide colleagues.
Main Topics:
Super Resolution Microscopy
Light-Sheet Microscopy
Correlative Microscopy (Super Resolution + EM) Big Data Analysis and Handling But also other new microscopy developments and all the biological results obtained by these techniques will be covered.
The detailed program is enclosed in the PDF Flyer.
It will be an excellent opportunity for you to get an update and overview of the newest cutting-edge developments in microscopy and many spectacular results obtained in life science applications.
A small exhibition area with 14 companies in the field of microscopy is on site.

The registration fee is 100 € for scientists and industry; and 30 € for PhD, master and bachelor students.
Hotel rooms in freiburg are running short due to a large fair in Basel so hurry up with the registration.
Registration is obligatory as the number of seats in the auditorium is limited to 230.

Best regards

Roland Nitschke

Don’t know if it’s a record, but are you suggesting the speakers were selected on the basis of gender? if not, then what is the explanation?

Cheers

This is clearly unfortunate, as there are outstanding women researchers in
the field of advanced microscopy.

This last week article from Nature News about the uproar surrounding the
lack of female speakers at the 15th International Congress of Quantum
Chemistry may be relevant, as it shows that people care about this issue:

The Women in Cell Biology of the American Society for Cell Biology has compiled a Speaker Referral List that is a terrific source for excellent women scientists (including microscopists). This service is particularly helpful when your personal address book fails, as it did in this case.

Re: Women in microscopy

In reply to this post by ed@hpcf.upr.edu

This is not to make light of a serious problem. But I am having a hard
time in my classes predicting anything about gender based on peoples'
names. The people no longer name their children in any way that allows
one to predict their gender. Maybe this is progress.
