Provides strong evidence that having all-male or all-white panels is not just a consequence of having small numbers of white women and people of colour.
- UWaterloo interactive display of student headcounts. Users can select variables including recorded gender, faculty, year of study, and visa status.
- An annotated bibliography of recent studies on gender bias in academia, curated by Danica Savonick and Cathy N. Davidson.
- Women in Science, an interactive data tool from the UNESCO Institute for Statistics exploring gender of researchers around the world
