Cze¶ć wszystkim,

It's funny that in France, where 30-40% of astronomers are women,
there's a major international (mostly US-France) conference being
organised where none of the review speakers are women (unless
Steinhardt or Carroll or Skuja are women?).

I guess selection effects against women still function in cosmology!
Equality is a never-ending struggle...

All the same, the conference should be interesting, even if it's
dominated by a bunch of white men.
