International Inaugural Conference of the Institut de l’Audition

6th International Workshop on Technologies for Optogenetics and Neurophotonics

Organizers: Tommaso Fellin, Massimo De Vittorio, Ferruccio Pisanello
Speaker gender ratio: 1 woman : 15 men (6%)
Estimated* base rate of women in the field: 28%
