... great idea to pull out the female speakers from the programme at the ICM. Irit Dinur's lecture has been my favourite of the conference so far, and I am hoping we can put together a Plus article based on her work. And we are also hoping to interview Dorit Aharonov this week in order to write about her work as well. I have actually been pleasantly surprised by the proportion of female delegates at the conference - still not approaching half but definitely more than I was expecting. And we are really excited about writing on the fascinating research by speakers such as Dinur and Aharonov. So stay tuned for more on Plus soon!
