DUCKS!!
This is what 20,000 ducks looks like! Thank you to Rotary Club of Hebden Bridge for organising the UK’s largest duck race and raising thousands for local charities. Brilliant

I just heard my HoD describe himself as 'so short-sighted' to his year 9 class. He then revealed that his prescription is -5. It was all I could do not to run into the lab and laugh in his face. Try a -18.5 for size, then tell me how short-sighted you are!

Testing out how easy it is to make the origami DNA double helix. If a dyspraxic technician can do it, then hopefullt the students will manage too! #Techognition @TECHOGNITIONUK @Philip_HarrisUK @BrecklandSci @SLSSelectEd

As far back as 1947 there was a need for #Techognition! The Science Masters' Association recognised that 'the profession has been branded as a "blind-alley" occupation. It's sad how we are still fighting the sane battles!

I love an excuse to make stuff and have a bit of a play, and if I can justify it by claiming it as a potential STEM club activity that's even better! #Techognition @TECHOGNITIONUK @Philip_HarrisUK @SLSSelectEd @BrecklandSci
