#TECHOGNITION returns on Firday 13th March 2026 - less than two weeks away! Full details at: techognition.org Like and RT this post and we'll choose 10 winners at random at noon this Friday 6th March who will each receive a badge and some stickers. Good luck!

@labtech666 @LabLogger_Sci My job tomorrow. I've been putting the prep room back together after some building work and tactically left the admin 'till last.

I always feel a bit more relaxed about the new academic year once the timetable is into @LabLogger_Sci

Join us and thousands of UK school & college technicians next Thursday for our 8th annual #TECHOGNITION event which showcases and celebrates their essential contribution to education. techognition.org

@ozynamdius @JeromeDavies1 @g_gosden It shows that there was more ice in 1979 (light blue line) than today (dark blue line)

Tice has the intellectual acumen of a sea slug.

@DrDavidBoyce @LabLogger_Sci @ChatChemistry Unfortunately very much against the guidance in PP122.

So we know potassium burns purple in water - but the addition of a piece of filter paper enables the sodium to get hot enough to also burn. #iteachchemistry @ChatChemistry Can’t give credit as I can’t quite remember where I saw it 😬 (sorry!)

You've got no chutzpah

Dessert Strike

@DriverdDriver @SurbitonHigh @CLEAPSS A lovely way to put it. Thank you for coming and I hope you find it useful.

@Chimbles84 @SurbitonHigh @CLEAPSS Comprehensive and enjoyable, with a few helpful tips picked up. Aka worthwhile fun!

Perhaps none more surprised than me that they invited me back for a 2nd year of glass manipulating fun. (Been a tech for 18 years and this is the first CLEAPSS mug I've managed to pick up myself 💜☕)

There's always one extra delegate

@CLEAPSS I'll have to have a butcher's tomorrow.

Want know more about PAT testing? Then read our guide to this science.cleapss.org.uk/Resource-Info/…

Come work with me in Kingston. 40 hrs/pw, TTO (35 weeks). Free lunch. Good team. Nice Teachers. Well resourced. Science Technician - Eteach eteach.com/careers/kgs/jo…

@CountBinface Will the arcade be one entry fee and then the machines are free, like in the early days of SegaWorld, or shit, like it became?

Here it is: my 2024 manifesto to be Mayor of London. Can any other candidate beat this? Not a chance! #VoteBinface #MakeYourVoteCount #IchBinEinLondoner

@ScietechSmith Pop a kettle on to boil with your water of choice. Weigh out the required mass of starch and add it to your beaker. Add a little bit of cold water to make a paste. Add the freshly boiled water with stirring until it's clear. Top up with cold water to the final volume. Done!

@Chimbles84 Nope 😅

Tech visit tomorrow means I have to put my starch on today!

@StillABookShelf @Taffytoons Incidentally, I had a bad experience of it once.

@StillABookShelf @Taffytoons Saturated sodium ethanoate 'stalagmite'

It had to be done though, didn't it? #TECHOGNITION
