Almost everywhere I go people assume I am with the guy next to me..happens at conferences, airports, hotels..any place you name it. People have later confessed that they only realized much later that they made such a mistake and didn't know my technical credentials

That is indeed very sad and I am hopeful that this will change soon. I am a computational biologist by training, which generally has a better balance of the genders but since I moved to more mainstream ML, I have noticed a more male dominated culture.

However, thanks to powerful female voices such as yours, I am sure we're headed to a more diverse and less toxic culture in our respective academic areas.
