Yes, that's been a key part of it right from the beginning. That was, again, something we recognized by talking to focus groups about what was wanted. It doesn't make any sense to have just women talking to just women about skills sharing and mentorship. We need to have the support of men and the mentorship of men in assorted fields. As I say, when there's only one woman in physics—and I can speak from personal experience—you need to have the mentorship of anybody, everybody, who is successful and wonderful, and that certainly includes men. All of SCWIST's events are open to men, and we do our best to recognize their support.
