Some Statistics on Women in Lattice QCD

Abstract

We present a sampling of analyses concerning the gender ratio of plenary speakers during the years 2000--2016 and make comparisons with other conferences, such as the APS April meeting. We hope this will invite discussion of ideas for how to make our field more accessible to women and minorities. We are preparing for an in-depth survey of the lattice field and welcome any ideas or suggestions. To leave post-conference comments and read about news affecting women in our field, see our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/WLQCD
