[FieldTrip] gender bias in the M/EEG research community

[Robert Oostenveld]

Dear FieldTrip users,

Probably your are aware of the gender bias in science (e.g. at conferences: https://biaswatchneuro.com <https://biaswatchneuro.com/>). There is an initiative which hopefully will help counteracting (see below for details). That is, currently information about female scientist with M/EEG expertise are collected. This will provide material for gender representation to future organizers of Biomag and potentially other conferences.

@ Female scientist in the field: You may want to fill in this link (or one of the links below): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KaqR_ONjH4DShmzDS0SlpWho0hp6NuswWmYrrDC0OSY/edit?usp=sharing <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KaqR_ONjH4DShmzDS0SlpWho0hp6NuswWmYrrDC0OSY/edit?usp=sharing>

@ All: Please, pass on the link / mail to reach female scientist in the field.

best regards,
Robert
