We report on a survey of astronomers asking questions at the most recentNational Astronomy Meeting (NAM2014). The gender balance of both speakers andsession chairs at NAM (31% and 29% women respectively) closely matched that ofattendees (28% female). However, we find that women were under-representedamong question askers (just 18% female). Women were especiallyunder-represented in asking the first question (only 14% of first questionsasked by women), but when the Q&A session reached four or more questions, womenand men were observed to ask roughly equal numbers of questions. We found asmall, but statistically insignificant, increase in the fraction of questionsfrom women in sessions where the chair was also female. On average $2.2\pm0.1$questions were asked per talk, with no detectable difference in the number ofquestions asked of female and male speakers, but on average female chairssolicited slightly fewer questions than male chairs. We compare these resultsto a similar study by Davenport et al. (2014) for the AAS, who also foundunder-representation of women amongst question askers, but saw more pronouncedgender effects when a session chair or speaker were female. We conclude withsuggestions for improving the balance of questions at future astronomymeetings.
