I would be really glad to see a young woman on a panel about science-related things. Of course I'd be gladder to see more women and more diversity in general but, the current climate being what it is, I would probably walk in expecting to see four ageing white guys. I'd be pleasantly surprised and encouraged to see that it's possible to succeed in the field without 'fitting in'.
