For what it's worth, the main scientist behind the core of the data analysis code that we are running under Einstein@Home is a woman, Marialessandra Papa. [Full disclosure: Marialessandra is also my wife.]
Marialessandra is the captain of the current 'top team' (Einstein@Work) although she has been neglecting the team recently to help sort out some of the problems and issues that have come up.
I'll ask David Hammer if he's willing to change the name of the Einstein@UWM team to Einstein@UW. So stand by, please.
Cheers,
Bruce

Molly, Bruce,
I kind of like the idea of having separate teams for the UW system universities. My thinking is that students and faculty would be more likely to promote Einstein@Home if there is a team specifically for their university. My hope is that when a student sees that their university does not have a team they would become the team founder and encourage there friends to join up as well.
So I encourage you to start up a team (Einstein@UW-Madison?) and try to get as many people to join up as possible. I am sure you could pass up UWM in no time.
