Phyllis is one of the tunnel boring machines for Crossrail and one of the most extraordinary characters I met, visiting some of the most exciting infrastructure in Britain. Crossrail is the new railway which will run from West to East right across London. It is the biggest engineering project in Europe - and Phyllis herself is not exactly dainty. ↗

Piecemeal social engineering resembles physical engineering in regarding the ends as beyond the province of technology. ↗

I think one problem we've had is that people who are smart and creative and innovative as engineers went into financial engineering. ↗
