The number of women on The Power List almost tripled from eight in 2013 to 23 in 2015. In 2014, women comprised 32.5 percent of the “Top 40 Under 40”. But is that truly representative? 2016’s Power List will celebrate the skills and careers of women in analytical science – 50 of them to be precise. Will it be difficult to find 50 inspiring women? We don’t think so. Importantly, we hope that our efforts are not seen as tokenism or condescension, but rather an attempt to balance the scales.
The Process
