I wonder if you'd have better gender balance at a science panel at an Asian convention.

Also anecdata, but my experience of science conferences/anything in Singapore has also been dominated by white men. But it might just be a S'pore thing, given how much we spend on bringing migrant talents in.

Also racism. That.

I agree with the less gendered funnelling of people into the arts/sciences. That being said, I think the disparity round these parts (as in home parts) shows up more clearly at the top than it does in the UK/US, because we are so bad at supporting female leadership/scholarship.
