@TanmoyDasLala Thank you! Results were a bit all over the place - but better than just sitting at a desk with no practicals at all!

Some #scicomm crafts inspired by a barrage of (very thoughtful) questions on pressure from a year 11 #physics student. #TeacherLife #STEMeducation #CartesianDiver

Great experience with the @DeptDefence visiting today! Physics and maths students got to fly a jet in the flight simulator and learn about careers with @AusAirForce. Highly recommend for anyone looking to engage students with new career ideas! #education #teaching #careers

After a career shift to start the year I can't believe we're halfway through Term 1 and sports day is done and dusted! Loving my journey into teaching so far, full of challenges and rewarding moments. #sportsday #teaching #education

"Countries collectively failed to stop the growth in global greenhouse gas emissions, meaning that deeper and faster cuts are now required." In particular, Australia is one of those countries called out as failing to meet it's agreed targets bbc.com/news/science-e… #ClimateCrisis

My first response is disappointment and anger, but not surprise. We can only hope that publishers acknowledging out bias through analyses such as these can start to influence systematic change. 👩‍🔬

"Women are less likely to get papers accepted for publication in chemistry journals than their male colleagues are, an analysis of more than 700,000 manuscripts submitted to the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) has found" nature.com/articles/d4158… #WomenInSTEM @NatureNews

If I wasn't already loving @ABTagenda's 'Houston, We Have a Narrative', this figure would have sold me! 😂 Taking our brain's quirks into account is key to good #scicomm. Storytelling appeals to our brain and is a part of cultures the world over, science should make use of that!

Why does scientific misinformation persist, and is the problem of misinformation or "fake news" something new? Interesting read on @ConversationEDU theconversation.com/amp/merchants-… #scicomm #fakenews
