8/9 The cohort of experts providing feedback for model training probably needs to be diverse and balanced. That also means there should be broad agreement on its composition. One possible approach could be to include, for example, all scientists with a PhD, or the whole current peer-reviewer pool.

I looked at this but left it out of the post, because the gender inference tool could only classify 44% of first authors and 31% of last authors. But given this caveat, this is the distribution: First authors: 71% male, 29% female Last authors: 83% male, 17% female
