Evening all. Just wondering if any of my followers teach BTEC Applied Science L2? @helentheroberts would love to hear from you as she also teaches it and it would be great to get a network together of colleagues to help and support each other. Please retweet. Thank you! π

Great session on averages and spread with some fantastic Biology teachers today for @Advanced_Maths in partnership with @theASE. I love that I lead the sessions but also come away having learned something and with new ideas and an increasing love of biology π

Dear Mogg
I'm due for another heroic visit to Ukraine. It'll foster huge goodwill for me amongst wavering supporters in Britain, so I will stand in fatigues next to a cannon, shaking hands with Zerinsky, just as Churchill appeared with the Archduke Ferdinand.

Make a stand, Paul. While we may be losing the "less/fewer", "myself/me" battles, surely we can hold out against "nucular". I mean there's a limit to how much butchering the English language can endure.

Try the 8am start for the stand....
Which TBH was pointless as no one apart from other exhibitors were there at 8am. #wasteoftimeandsleep

Amazing time at @theASE conference in Sheffield. Loved presenting on maths in science with @ViciaScience, @BeaulieuBio and Marianne and the attendees were all enthusiastic and accepting of my ratio tables obsession!

I am a big of doing demonstrations when they can enthuse and enhance understanding, so it was good to see @ViciaScience and Ed Walsh give tips and facilitate discussions on how to do science demonstrations effectively. #ASEConf2023

A highlight of my recent trip to Tanzania was visiting a school where I presented a copy of my ASE book published in the UK w Ed Walsh, Understanding Children's Ideas in Science. Looking forward to attending the ASE Conference in Jan. #ASE #ASEChat #NSTA #NSTA22 #NSELA
