Honoured to present today at #ViCEPHEC24 about our Peer Assessment 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬 of Lab Skills⚗️🧪@UofGChem Quant-1 Lab w/ recent graduate Tess Lynn BSc(Hons) on behalf of our Staff Student Partnership w/ Dr Beth Paschke and Claire Johnston. Thanks to @UofG SSPS for funding! @UofGCHERPS

The value of ‘wasting time’ on deep thinking is often overlooked in a scientific ecosystem increasingly tainted by Wall Street’s productivity mindset. nature.com/articles/d4158…

When the booking website tells you it's a 15 min walk along a riverside path to the town.... and it's really 30 minutes through fields of cows.

Very proud of my PhD student giving her first conference talk at Horizons in STEM.

@seerymk Yes, excellent coffee.

Nice views for badly needed morning coffee after epic 12 hour Glasgow to Bristol flight saga. Looking forward to #horizonsinstem24.

Tune in to @BBCRadio4 this Sunday at 7:15pm to hear our amazing School Glassblower @ayako_tani discussing scientific glassblowing and the production of glass ships in bottles! 🧪🚢 @UofGSciEng @UofGPE

@seerymk CERG writing retreat?

@seerymk Oooh interesting, thanks for the heads up. Loved Deep Work. That's my travel reading for Horizons in STEM sorted.

Delighted to see my first foray into collaborative autoethnography published. A pleasure to work with co-authors from @UofGADD who get me to look beyond the Likert scale! digitalcommons.georgiasouthern.edu/ij-sotl/vol18/…

@patrickthomson Yes, would thoroughly recommend it. Great to have supervision through a piece of chem ed research and the dissertation. Unfortunately didn't cure my fear of theoretical frameworks.

Chem Ed people, has anyone taken a formal taught MEd? Dabbling with the idea of Actually Learning In A Classroom How To Do Social Science Research but y'all seem to have winged (wung?) it fairly successfully!

@HolyroodChemis1 @RSC_Scotland @UofGChem @HolyroodSec It was lovely to meet you all yesterday. @UofGCOG had a great time too.

Some of our S2 pupils were taking part in the Chemistry at Work event hosted by @RSC_Scotland at @UofGChem. They had four lab challenges to complete and then an element emoji quiz. All @HolyroodSec pupils had a great time and loved seeing the University lab🧪

Big thank you to special guest @jane_essex for opening our University of Glasgow Chemistry at Work event today and @RSCLAS for the teachers ' session. Also to @RoySocChem for funding and @deltang, @UofGCOG and @CosmaGottardi for all your hard work with the organisation.

Had a wonderful morning helping out at a molecule workshop at Gourock Primary School as part of the Inverclyde STEM festival

A wonderful session at the Clober Primary PTA Fayre and a beautiful day in Milngavie. Thanks for having us.

Leaving Belfast full of ideas and inspiration. Thanks to @DrKevinMorgan and team for organising a fantastic #MICER24.

Traffic jam on Islay this afternoon.
