In a letter to Nature magazine and Microsoft chairman Bill Gates, a group of senior female technology professors named ICSI's Sally J. Floyd as one of three women who exemplify "outstanding female experts in computing and other fields". Floyd was cited for her work on core Internet technologies. The letter was written to protest the lack of women in Microsoft Research Cambridge's 2020 Science Group and in a special issue of Nature on March 23, 2006. According to an article in The Age, an Australian newspaper, Nature will print the letter in the May 4 issue. Microsoft has issued a statement saying that several women were invited to the workshop but were unable to attend.
