2019 Summer School in Social Neuroscience and Neuroeconomics
Organizers: Gregory Samanez-Larkin, Molly Crockett, Jamil Zaki and Kendra Seaman
Faculty gender ratio: 6 Women : 5 Men (55%)
Estimated* base rate of women in the field: 37-39%
*Method of estimation: previously established base rate of women in neuroeconomics.
Organizers: Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Göttingen (BCCN Göttingen)
Invited speaker gender ratio: 4 Women : 7 Men (36%)
Estimated* base rate of women in the field: 17-18%
*Method of estimation: Since the conference is advertised as “the largest annual Computational Neuroscience Conference in Europe” we used the base rate in the field of computational neuroscience as calculated from attendance at COSYNE 2016.
Organization for Computational Neurosciences 28th Annual Meeting (CNS2019)
Organizer: Thomas Nowotny (Program Chair)
Sponsors: see here
Invited keynote speaker gender ratio: 2 Women : 2 Men (50%)
Estimated* base rate of women in the field: 17-20%

2019 UT Austin Conference on Learning & Memory
Sponsor: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke
Speaker gender ratio (incl. keynote): 9 Women : 9 Men (50%)
Estimated* base rate of women in the field: 38%
*Method of estimation: We searched NIH RePORTER with keyword (learning OR memory) AND neuro and then counted the ratio of women among the unique researchers in all 75 pages of results found using our python script. Search originally performed in December 2017.
