But don't let organisers get away with 'not knowing' people. See advice below we heard and want to share widely, most of which applies to both men and women. x.com/manelwatchuk/s…

I've spent 2 years tracking the gender balance in my stories. In that time, I've raised the proportion of women whom I quote from 25% to 50%. Here's why I did it, and what I learned on the way. theatlantic.com/science/archiv…

Just received an invite for ANOTHER ridiculously male-dominated event. Hosted by @BEAMA_Htg, Energy Systems Catapult, & Energy UK. Speakers: 16 men, 2 women, 2 TBC. I will not be attending. beama.org.uk/event/building…

I think #AI #manels are the scariest type of #manels. It's really important that diverse views are involved otherwise we will programme in discrimination to the fabric of our world. x.com/tradegovukSGP/…

Are there not more women working in Eastern European or Central Asian archaeology? Only two out of 18 speakers are women. #manel, @ManelWatchIre, Manel Watch UK #genderbalance x.com/RGZM_Freunde/s…

@gwnstr thanks for higlihgting #manference on #AI and for suggesting boycott. Lack of diversity in #AI risks embedding bias into the fabric of our world.⬇️ x.com/gwbstr/status/…
