the problem
Nature and Context help
The media says female expert representation is lacking because there aren't many female experts around. They are wrong – 2,500+ women have already been enlisted as experts. Organizing a database so that it is sortable by region as well as area of expertise enables local media to find local female experts, and to allow women to get together and form local networking groups.
