in#YAMMM Alert: Drug Discovery and Therapy World Congress, a meeting made for @realDonaldTrump & other men
Elizabeth Bik sent me a link to this meeintg: DRUG DISCOVERY & THERAPY WORLD CONGRESS 2015 with a comment about the ratio of males to females in the keynote speakers. And it is painful. Of the plenary and keynote speakers, 15 are male and 1 is female. Below I show pics of the plenary and keynote speakers:

Two bonus people who could have been giving keynote talks but who actually are not. |
The gender bias at this meeting puts into perspective the push by the NIH to get drug researchers to inlcude more female subjects in their studies. See for example, Why Are All the Lab Rats Boys? NIH Tells Drug Researchers to Stop Being Sexist Pigs. Here is a thought, maybe we can get some of these speakers to cancel speaking at the meeting and also maybe we can get nobody to attent the meeting. Sigh. Yet another mostly male meeting. Also known as "YAMMM".

UPDATE October 14, 2014.
Well, this is one of the strangest and lamest things I have seen associated with a conference in a while. Elizabeth Bik just emailed me to show me an invite she received to the "Global Biotechnology Congress 2015." And here is the bizarre thing. It is at the same time as the Drug Discovery meeting discussed here. Same place. Same speakers. It is apparently the same meeting with a new name.
