A new study finds the gender pay gap runs deep – all the way to the first pennies we earn, it turns out. But the good news is, parents have the power to set things right

Here's your medieval meme of the week you pedants.
ALT Chaucer on a horse riding with a crowd of knights around him. Speech bubble says "I'd expected there to be less of you..." and then someone in the crowd says "FEWER!" The words on the bottom say "The Pedants' Revolt"

They’re cancelling art & humanities degrees at uni where students aren’t in skilled jobs in 6 months. They would have cancelled my drama degree at Hull on that basis. I wouldn’t have become a writer. I wouldn’t have written #Sherwood. Other writers wouldn’t have written theirs.
Sometimes it feels like we’re in a progress loop……..
This is absolutely astounding. Govt spokesperson, the social mobility commissioner no less, says girls don't like physics, apparently fine with characterising #womeninSTEM as being freaks. We haven't made much progress in STEM gender disparity but thought we'd got past that.

Very important article. Many women leave work due to the levels of anxiety during menopause - it’s a massive unnecessary loss of knowledge and experience. theguardian.com/society/2021…
Now there’s an idea………
From today all my colleagues can claim on expenses their prescription costs when they are recommended HRT. It’s so important that we support our colleagues going through the menopause. #menopauseday

Depressing but not surprising findings here on the impact of #menopause on women’s professional lives. All that talent and experience being lost. @LJMUResearch @WomenProfs news.sky.com/story/menopause…
