Today was a fantastic opportunity to hear from former @UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. His talk was so full of passion, but also conveyed a vital message that we all need to act as Global Citizens to help achieve a sustainable future for all.
Former @UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon spoke passionately at @UCLan today, on how the next generation can play their role in building a resilient and sustainable future 🌍♻ #KAPTalks Learn more about his visit and the @kapulectures series here: uclan.ac.uk/news/ban-ki-moon…

It has been fantastic to work with Naz through the @BritSciAssoc Community Buddy Programme. I can highly recommend it to any researchers looking to support their local community.
Amazing to see our Community Buddy pair @NazaranaYusuf (@imocharity) & @OliverKerr96 celebrated in @lancstelegraph for working to bridge the gender gap in Computer Science GCSE uptake👏 For about the project & the Community Buddy scheme: britishscienceassociation.or… @BSACommunities

It was fantastic to spend the day with the @bcs discussing the #DigitalSkillsGap. There is still a lot of work to do, but it is clear from today that we are all pushing in the right direction. @UCLanComputing #BCSDSN

Who is confident that when I come to test your app I won’t be able to break it? #Computing4WC

After a great talk - on why #CSEdResearch is harder than Computer Science Research - @Guzdial joins @suesentance to officially unveil the @RaspberryPi_org Computing Education Research Centre here. This is a great initiative and it's fantastic to see it officially launched!

Going through boxes of stuff and found this from my old part time job @maplintweet. I often say the skills I learnt there has helped me become a better lecturer.
