Watching an episode about #CrossRail. Such an amazing project. If you laid the Shard, Europe's tallest building, lengthways it wouldn't be the length of #Farringdon Station which, incidentally was project managed by a woman.

Women are 13 percent less likely to be named as authors on scientific papers. At entry level they were less likely to get credit, though they spent the same time as work as men. #SameOldSameOld thetimes.co.uk/article/ef1299…
