This is not just the case in Brazil and Latin America, how many symposia I've seen with 90% or more male presenters! I agree with all ideas included here by @ana_bosslady What we've done in the past was to secure funding to support minorities and women to attend our symposium.
Ana Carnaval@ana_bosslady24 Nov 2021
1. This is long thread with personal thoughts & ideas on how to revert male dominance in scientific events. I have Brazil and Latino-America in my mind right now, but this can apply everywhere. If you feel this is useful, join the conversation & help me spread ideas far and wide.

Anyone out there able to perform electrophysiological experiments on taste receptors? I’m looking for a collaborator to help work on novel lipid receptors in lady beetles. Feel free to retweet to expand the audience. 🐞 🧈 👅

It's that time: talk to your classes about teaching evals. I think it is morally responsible to tell students this stuff, especially if you (like me) can present it from the "these biases only *help* me, but what about my talented colleagues?" angle.
