@Demo318 Its donation based. I fund it as a charitable donation from my company as a means to support the scientific community.

@freemo @Demo318 Please don't take this the wrong way but qoto is a mirror for the seeming lack of women in STEM or is it just my perception tricking me?

@commandelicious While we have some wonderful female contributors they are sadly a minority. It is no surprise that a STEM instance would reflect the democgraphic in the world. With that said I would be the first to welcome a change where more Women go into STEM and have an interest in the topic. But sadly it just doesnt seem to be as appealing to women as it is for men and that makes me sad :( @Demo318

@freemo @Demo318 Ok, I was just checking and it makes me terribly sad as well.
As for every other field it's helpful to have as many viewpoints and perspectives as possible.
What I am trying to say is: It's hurting the field.

@commandelicious I agree diversity is far healthier for any community. @Demo318
