Last week, I was at Forum Acusticum, a European conference in acoustics. Traditionally, the opening session includes an awards ceremony. I was shocked to discover that in the ten previous editions of the conference, no prize has *ever* been awarded to a woman scientist (gender ratio = 0/20!). And this year, the jury didn't do any better. We're still a long way from gender equality in some scientific fields...

@leovarnet Sad to read that. Are you able to nominate, perhaps?

@elmerot No unfortunately I'm not a member of the board... I wrote an email to the organisers though, if I'm not the only one hopefully they will realize this is not acceptable anymore.
