So now we are finsihed with the hectoring I hope. I¹m glad this forum is
besides watch people agree with the obvious. Sometimes saying a little is
Jeremy - I fully support your concept (really). It seems you want to make
this a public crusade. We all just reveived notice of the annual FOM
meeting - a much larger event. Perhaps you could run (or demand) the
numbers on that one just for the sake of completeness. The current
previous meetings. Of course, the organizing committee is listed for the
current meeting. Given the vitriol with this last episode, the organizers

>> Last week I posed a simple question about a conference that was being

>> There has been no response - the question seems to come down to whether

>>
>> The massive under representation women as speakers is not trivial,
>>being invited to speak has considerable career advantages, its looks
>>good on a CV, it provides good networking opportunities beyond those
>>available to conference participants, in addition speakers costs are
>>often met and the unstated deal is that the organizers then expect/hope
>>that the chosen speakers will reciprocate and invite them to their
>>conferences - a loop that further works to exclude women. That speakers
>>often become decision makers on grant applications and publications
>>makes this cosy arrangement even more pernicious.

>> So Alberto please answer a very simple but important question.
