But if I request a plumber, the tendency for it to be a man is a fairly accurate representation of the tendency for plumbers to be men. I don’t think the tendency for the sex ratio of panels to be male skewed accurately reflects a tendency for scientists to be men.
It's very easy. Stop caring about sex ratios of panels the same way you don't care about sex ratios of plumbers.https://twitter.com/lakens/status/993810918525034496 …

For example, in
@lakens’ tweet he says the women couldn’t make it. It’s not that there aren’t suitable women. -
Has anyone researched the seniority of men and women who get invited to panels? My subjective experience is that organisers try to nominate 50/50, but are aware of only a very few senior women and a wider spread of men, so fewer women accept.

This sounds likely - when searching for keynotes, search is for seniors. Many suggestions are great scholars, but more junior than invited men. Age plays a role I think.
