"Holt dominates the conversation, whether discussing string theory or anything else."

Dick-splaining, maybe? Prick-splaining?

turn to speak. Her subject starts around 60-61 minutes, but the demand from the audience occurs at 66 minutes. He had five minutes of elaborating, talking over her. I thought the audience was very patient.

.....for this event (the ones I saw, anyway) show men, in suits, talking, including Alan Alda; a 5 year old female child in awe over a sort of play-doh substance; and a female runner---young, with her full body outlined due to wearing form fitting running gear to exemplify "energy", her face obscured by light. Could have been an ad for great running shoes.

There are no pictures of professionally clothed women talking or doing anything scientifically serious. Let alone featured with men.

It was just that particular panel was male dominated in more ways than one.

If you look at the photos from the event many panels were much more balanced: http://www.worldsciencefestival.com/signing-off-10th-anniversary-world-science-festival/

In addition, there was a panel of all women space scientists called "Hidden Figures No More! Heroines of Space Science Past, Present, and Future."

There was also "Nevertheless, She Persisted: A Spotlight on Women in Science" with another all female panel.

The poster with the woman running was for "Flame Challenge: What is Energy?" which is sponsored by Alan Alda:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alan Alda has issued this year’s challenge to the world’s top scientists: What is energy? In an action-packed hour of interactive demonstrations, Alan and a team of experts invite the audience to explore how our bodies use energy, the impact of natural resources, and how we’re going to power the world in the future. The program also highlights the winners of the 2017 Flame Challenge, in which video and written explanations of energy were judged for clarity’s sake…by 20,000 eleven year-olds.

This program is in association with the Flame Challenge, an annual contest held by The Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science at Stony Brook University.

One of the demonstrations on how the body used energy was a runner on a treadmill (starts about 48:00):

to show girls, esp. girls of color, engaged or oohing over sciency stuff.

If you try to discern what the population of the US looks like from a lot of educational materials--I'm talking alumni magazines from a couple of universities, textbooks from two publishers, the district I live in, the district I work in, and the stuff that shows up in my high-school mailbox, the US is probably 80% women, 50% black, 30% Latino, and 4% white female.

Surveys regularly show that if you ask about the percentage of the US population that is Muslim, Jewish, black, Latino, or GLBT the most common estimates are anywhere from twice to 5 or 6 times the actual percentages. It's like claiming credit for work--if you take a team and ask each member what percentage s/he contributed, the total work contributed by all members usually comes out really close to 140% of what was done. (Take away: People are really, really bad at statistics. Meaning my estimates in the 2nd par. are almost certainly off.)

Brilliant site.

would qualify for inclusion on allmalepanels.tumblr.com. "Please submit! Preferably photos and screenshots. Or links. Make sure it is an all male thing, if not, please explain how it still may count as one."

I believe a good argument could be made that Betsy DeVos simply doesn't count as a member of the cabinet, even on those rare occasions when she's technically present at a meeting.


NY Times, Jill Filipovic: Pence and the far-right Freedom (Koch) Conference planning massive cuts to healthcare benefits for women: "This isn’t the first celebratory photo the White House has released of men cutting health care for women."

I can't imagine what it is like for a woman.

He also has lots of posts about sexual harassment at prestige
universities in fields such as physics and anthropology. And how any
complaints pretty well destroy the woman's future in that field.
