Episode notes
The Bank Note Campaign
- Criado Perez campaigned to keep a female figure on Bank of England notes.
- This successful campaign led to threats and her dropping out of LSE, but also to her writing career.
The Standard Male
- The world is designed with a "standard male" in mind, leading to disparities in product design and safety.
- This is evident in ill-fitting personal protective equipment (PPE) and smartphones.
Reference Man
- "Reference man" is a Caucasian male between 25-35, weighing ~154 pounds, used in various research areas.
- This standard's inadequacy is evident in car crash dummies, where female dummies are merely scaled-down males.
