The Royal Society needs you! It is looking for important locations in the history of women in science in the UK.
The start of half term was initially hectic with a dash up to Scotland for a dance competition but this was followed by a few days of rest (some enforced by bad weather!)
Definitely a treasure hunt... me and my neighbour used to make them up all the time for our girls... usually with a theme, e.g. we got all the cow toys and hid them and gave them clues.. we had 'witches in wellies'for Halloween once too... they loved collecting the things and ticking off the sheet
Ooh I have been there! It is an amazing place, so atmospheric.
Big Oxford applications news... the MAT and PAT are being replaced with the TMUA and ESAT for 2027 entry...

Quality assurance often creates workload without clarity. In my latest Substack, I explore why common QA approaches fall short and how schools can design QA that is purposeful, subject-led and genuinely improves teaching.

Amazing... I named by daughter after Rosalind Franklin and she is turning out to be a very good scientist and science communicator (she's now 14)
Same...
What’s your go-to mnemonic for revising chemistry? Share it with us here – we’d love to see your best memory hacks!
Check out our page 27 in the January print issue where we explore some more of the classics like OIL RIG and quirky ones like PPOO.

We did a thing! A depressingly-necessary message. Chemists, do as much as you can to support teachers and schools, or the student pipeline dries up and departments close. With @sci-drscott.bsky.social and colleagues.

Last day of Christmas at Chatsworth House...
A side view of a large stately home in winter sunshine with a bright blue sky overhead.
A side view of a stately home with a white sky overhead and snow on the ground.
What a difference an hour makes... yesterday's walk in the gardens at Chatsworth brought us some unexpected (and not forecast) snow...
Blackpool putting on its best face tonight for Six!
Sunset in my little patch of the world.

As someone who grew up in that area the accents are absolutely spot on as well.
Only Connect makes me feel really dumb. I would pick University Challenge or Mastermind.
You might have done. He did his PhD in Southampton and is still in that area. Does some RSC stuff as well so it's a possibility.
I know Steve, I am good friends with his PhD supervisor and we did quite a few conferences together and i helped him when he first started teaching. Great to see him on TV this evening.
Another few hours of wanderings @beamishmuseum.bsky.social we got to see them making rhubarb and custard boiled sweets today and also got a tin loaf fresh from the oven at the bakery.
A full day of @beamishmuseum.bsky.social wanderings
A grey day but relaxing, blowing away the cobwebs on the Durham heritage Coast with sea glass hunting at Seaham.
Chemistry pressie this year :)
Quick trip into Ramsbottom to pick up food and see the trains.
January gave us the hunt for the male contraceptive pill, while in June we looked at how magnetic stirrers affect results. Back in November, we explored the chemistry of port. All this and more in our 2025 review.

For the 2nd year in a row my daughter has come top of the school quiz league... I am beginning to enjoy the annual arrival of her prize, a new @guinnessworldrecords.com book
Grittibänz... what they lack in beauty they make up for in taste...
Daughter is volunteering at her swim club's Christmas party for the little ones... so i am getting on with some marking...
