Highlights from last week's 10th Horizons in STEM HE Conference. Talks, poster, workshops, networking - something for everyone @AstonUni #UKSTEMConf25

Honoured to present last week at @UKSTEMconf about the experiences of UK PhD demonstrators, role ambiguity, identity, community bonds, & career implications. Paper is linked below. Thank you to those who attended the talk. It was a great discussion #UKSTEMConf25

Had a fantastic time last week presenting with Kieran Lyon about our work on Manual Calculations and how they can be used to improve students understanding and confidence in statistics! We are still recruiting but preliminary findings are promising #UKSTEMConf25

Thank you to our hosts @AstonUniversity and huge congratulations to @RosieJ0 and team for organising a fantastic #UKSTEMConf25 @UKSTEMconf. 2 inspiring and innovative days of STEM SoTL, 10 years and still going strong! We’ll see you next year at @RoyalHolloway #UKSTEMConf26

Another great day of talks, posters, and networking at #UKSTEMConf25 @AstonUniversity

Had a great day at #UKSTEMConf25 hosted by @AstonUniversity! Grateful for the chance to share the workshop I ran earlier this year with colleagues from Nursing. Now back on annual leave and winding down, reflecting on some brilliant talks and posters.

A great time to connect over a delicious conference dinner at Thinktank Science Museum #UKSTEMConf25
