Just thinking how Johnson spoke like a newspaper column — colourful, bantering bullshit — whereas Badenoch speaks like the worst kind of comment section: querulous, chippy, pedantic Read :

Question: If a pigeon flies into one of the labs and refuses to leave, whose responsibility is it? I played the 'that sounds like biology to me' card and passed the problem over to a more qualified colleague!
As I used to tell all student teachers - bribe the techs first! Who do you know who deserves celebrating for their impact on teaching and learning?

A colleague just incredulously emailed me this article and I, completely unsurprised, noted that while teaching I had at least two students try to eat copper sulfate crystals. Something about those blue crystals is clearly too alluring! www.tes.com/magazine/new... #ChatChemistry

Making Copper Sulfate solution / crystals ? Then always use a water bath to stop dangerous fumes being formed. Please also refer to the latest Hazcards about the storage of the forming crystals as this has changed.... science.cleapss.org.uk/Resource-Inf...
Sixth form student just came to the prep room to ask if we have anything like a wind tunnel. They were so surprised and happy when I told them that I made one a couple of years ago using @cleapss.bsky.social instructions. Can't wait to see what they actually want it for!

Publication Day! Moss Safari is Out in the Wild!
Well, the day has finally arrived. After months (OK, years…) of researching, writing, editing, photographing, microscope-fiddling, and occasionally yelling at my laptop – Moss Safari: Exploring the Secret Life in Moss is officially published! It’s out there. In the world. A real book. With a cover, pages, microscopic creatures, and everything. If you've ever crouched down to peer at a cushion of moss and wondered what’s going on in that miniature jungle – or even if you haven’t yet but now suddenly feel the urge – this book is for you.

I wrote an article for @rsc-eic.bsky.social on safety specs vs goggles in schools! The link in the quoted post is broken, but try edu.rsc.org/endpoint/do-...

Quick poll time, it would be very useful for our work to know how many labs you have in your school. Sadly we can't do this via a voting poll, so please just reply with how many labs (teaching labs + prep rooms) you have. Please also share this with others Thanks for your help in this 👍
This goes for STEM events targeted at children too. Science communicators, step up.
There is no place for #BigOil or #FossilGas sponsored resources or competitions in schools. The industry has an agenda and, sadly, it's not the wellbeing of young people. This is a great article on the Energy Town game from Equinor. Spoiler: to win it seems you have to invest in oil or gas 🤢
Year 8 have examined all the evidence and have concluded that it was the Head of Physics who killed the gryphon, using a circus baton as a weapon, so that he could get a gryphon feather to wear on his fancy hat!
As part of enrichment week, tomorrow our Year 8 students are going to try to solve the murder of the school's pet gryphon. I've had a lot of fun preparing fingerprints, blood spatters, and footprint casts for them.
