SciTech Em

@MrLordChem they did you proud today!

The annual year 13 aspirin making project has been done. Crude product is ready for drying. Some impressive yields this year!

Utterly spoiled by team science today! They're the best. Turning 40 ended up not being as bad as I thought!

Making the most of half term, finding some peace. View from the tent at Llyn Gwynant this morning 😍

Fun with indicators for year 8 today!

@KatLawrence Did you recycle covid testing solution bottles into reagent dropper bottles too?!

I may be rushed off my feet and overwhelmed beyond belief, but I can still stop and appreciate a job well done! Dropper bottle class set for food tests ✅️

When it’s your lead tech’s birthday and you can’t not decorate the prep room! Happy birthday Mrs Dawes!

@professor_dave Definitely no ‘useless parent’ in this story! You boy got to go swimming, and he got a new pair of trunks! He’ll see that as a win. As parents, we are our own worst critics. But you gave him what he needed, regardless of anything else. Don’t beat yourself up

Tonight, in 'I'm a useless parent part 137', it was 11yo's swimming lesson, but we got to pool with no kit - just my Kindle! Tempted to send him swimming in his pants, I ultimately bought him new trunks from the swim shop, but had to dry him in a picnic blanket from the car boot.

@HelloFreshUK Ah thanks for replying, your comment made his night!

@WeirdEm Hi there 🤩 Super kudos to the talented 10-year-old chef! 👉👨‍🍳  The dish looks absolutely amazing, and the photo captures it perfectly! We are loving the culinary skills, truly impressive! Bravo 🥰 - Shadia

Using @HelloFreshUK boxes to teach my 10 year old to cook this week! Fragrant chicken and coconut curry tonight. Read all of the instructions and did all of the cooking himself (supervised, of course) and expanded his palate in the process. He’s so proud (and so am I 🤩)

@benkarlin1 @adamboxer1 Can’t support this answer enough. There are many issues, but no one change would make even a fraction of the difference that this would

@adamboxer1 Make people less poor. Seriously. Alleviating poverty would do more for education than any education policy ever could.

Ok, teachers: if there was one thing you'd want in Labour's education manifesto, what would it be? Read the replies once they come in and hit like to support your faves 👇👇 ALL FOR NEXT WEEK ON TBFM

When the northern lights are flaring! (Taken from a back yard just outside Bolton!)

Today marks 30 years since I was first diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It’s a weird milestone to mark, but feels like it shouldn’t be ignored. Diabetes is relentless, and affects literally everything. It takes some serious fighting!

@cammac54 We aren’t quite there yet, sadly. Weeks of storms and hailstone have beaten back any flowers we might have had!

@WeirdEm This time of year, I go around the school grounds for flowers. Horse chestnuts are blooming now.

Another reason why being a lab tech is a job like no other. Shopped for 4 beautiful bunches of flowers on my way home tonight. Carried them home and will carefully carry them to school in the morning. And year 7 will then dissect them to identify the different parts of a flower!

Technicians at the weekend! Dog sitting and trig bagging on Darwen moor this morning.

It's day 2 of our week-long Easter photography challenge 🐣 Show us a photo of something green! 🌱

What technicians do in their holidays! Took my son to see the Watkins waterfalls in snowdonia today. One of my favourite spots on Earth. Loved sharing it with my boy today! I’ll make a hiker of him yet 🥰

Update! Year 11 handled this taste of a level chemistry so well! Really proud of them all - varying success rates on the mirrors but they should all be pleased with their results 😃 @MrLordChem

I love it when this demo works this well! Trialled for a lesson tomorrow - the teacher running the lesson has asked for ‘exactly what I used to make that!’ Hoping our year 11s get some spectacular mirrors 🤩
