Andrea Prudente. Women in science. Loo queues at festivals

A pregnant woman who was on holiday in Malta this month could not get an induced medical miscarriage when she needed it because of the country's strict abortion laws. Maltese doctors told Andrea Prudente, who was nearly 4 months pregnant, that the placenta was partly detached and her pregnancy was no longer viable but there was still a beating heart. The complications meant that her life was at risk. But in Malta terminating a pregnancy is completely illegal. Andrea ended up going to Mallorca to get treatment, where she’s recovering in a hotel. She joins Emma. Women in science are less likely to have their contributions recognised than their male counterparts, for example on a scientific paper or named on a patent, according to new analysis. A team of economists in the US found that women often have to work twice as hard as men to earn credit. But what is it like for women in science here in the UK? Monica Grady, CBE is a professor at the Open University. She joins Emma as does co-author of the US study, professor Julia Lane from the Wagner School of Public Policy at NYU. Have you ever noticed the queue for the women’s toilets is much longer than the queue for the men’s? Two Bristol university graduates have tried to resolve this issue, by inventing female urinals. They join Emma to explain how it works. Presenter: Emma Barnett Producer: Emma Pearce
