RIKEN Brain Science Institute Seminar Series 2017

Current organizers: Joshua Johansen, Tomomi Shimogori, Hokto Kazama, Taro Toyoizumi, Adrian Moore
Invited speaker gender ratio: 2 Women : 5 Men (29%)
Estimated* base rate of females in the field: 24%

*Method of estimation: previously established base rate of women in neuroscience.
**This seminar series had only 3 female speakers out of over 50 speakers in years prior to 2016 (under different organizers), therefore this is an especially commendable improvement.

INCF Nodes Workshop

Speaker gender ratio: 3 women : 9 men (25%)
Estimated* base rate of females in the field: 17%

*Method of estimation: We searched NIH RePORTER with keyword neuroinformatics and then counted the ratio of women among the unique researchers in all 29 results using our python script. This ratio from a small number of results conforms with our previously established base rate of women in computational neuroscience (17-20% at the time of writing.)
