"I do wonder that of all those nominations that only one female appears to be respresented."
How very true. I'm sure it can't be a matter of deliberate policy, since the BFS membership seems to be pretty evenly split between the genders and, insofar as I know any of their names, the society's officers seem to be if anything tilted towards a female majority.
Maybe it's just coincidence that this year the shortlist's so predominantly male. If I get the urge I'll see if I can dig out the shortlists for previous years.

And thanks for the congrats, even if I am male!
