- Abstract
The article discusses the lack of diversity among invited speakers at endocrinology conferences. The authors conducted a study in New Zealand and found that the most prestigious conferences in the field were predominantly held in Europe and North America, with fewer than 10% of invited speakers coming from other regions. They also found that women were underrepresented as speakers, and there was little evidence of improvement over time. The authors emphasize the importance of diversity in promoting better science and engaging the next generation, and suggest strategies such as improving gender balance among session chairs and embedding initiatives to encourage diversity within sponsoring organizations. They acknowledge the need for further research on addressing underrepresentation and intersectionality in the field.
