Happy #STEMday! Thanks for sharing my thoughts @Nat_Numeracy.
8 Nov 2025
For #STEMday, some wise words from @MathsAppeal host Susan Okereke with @Bobby_Seagull 💬
We need diversity in STEM to help those industries diversify and grow. But beyond that, everyone should be empowered with the fundamentals of maths to make better decisions in daily life.

Completely agree with my @MathsAppeal podcast cohost @Bobby_Seagull’s thoughts on #GCSEResits. A revamp is needed! Hopefully these discussions lead to positive change for the young people in our country.
