Actually doing something about gender imbalance in science

Doug Hilton, the director of WEHI (one of the premier immunology institutes in the world), has written an interesting article about redressing the gender imbalance in his institute. There are some good ideas (and a few not so good ideas) in this article, but the best thing is that he is actually doing something. The vast majority of institutes with a gender issue do nothing but arrange "women in science" training courses and assume that things are either impossible to fix, or will fix themselves with time.
