Saddened to see the “anyone but England” attitude of some of my fellow Scots today. Some of the stuff I've seen nearly made me choke on my paella.

Had a brain fart and described Amazing Spaces as "George Best's Caravan Nightmares", which to be honest I'd also watch.

EduTwitter: has anyone done research into teachers spending their own money on teaching supplies (which sadly happens a lot) or even anything on asking pupils to spend/provide similarly?

It is less than a month now until #ViCEPHEC24 ! EXCITED!!! REMINDER: Registration closes a week today (12th August)! For more information visit the website: vicephec24.wordpress.com ViCEPHEC

You've got to appreciate honest feedback 🤣

Ah for... Hull closing chemistry department. Booooooo

Chem Ed people: I'm sure there was a website out there with about 100 different CER survey instruments catalogued in it, but mind (and bookmarks) drawing a blank!

Huge congratulations to National Teaching Fellow KJHaxton ! Richly deserved!

We’re looking for two senior laboratory instructors to join our team for the new academic year. Please share with anyone with an interest in lab teaching. Applications from recently completed (or completing very soon) PhD students welcome. kcl.ac.uk/jobs/093589-te… #chemjobs

Cross-posted from BlueSky: Chemists: what chemistry threshold concept have you internalised elsewhere? For me, it's dynamic equilibria, and the idea that most things which look static aren't. The shelves are always stacked because ... bsky.app/profile/patric…

Scotland's finest civil engineering achievements: updated

We are also looking for 2 teaching focussed lecturers with expertise in green chemistry and/or automation to join our chemistry education team to modernise our chemistry curriculum. #chemjobs #greenchem

As sometimes leader of departmental chemistry education research meetings, I feel quite judged by this

Outstanding work!

I'm no on my way to #ViCEPHEC24 and will be live-skying the event over on bsky.app/profile/patric…

We did a thing! Inspired by David Paterson, we put Integrated Instructions into a first year distillation lab AND also dyed the fractions to make them easier to follow. Obligatory "dusting of inquiry" ofc dx.doi.org/10.1021/acs.jc…
