Read @ClaysonSara's full article on her reflections on nostalgia and identity here: pressbooks.pub/voicesofpracti…

"...being out of bounds somehow, somewhere you shouldn’t be. It feels a little bit subversive, a little bit disruptive. We’re hi-jacking other institutions’ premises and using them to teach students who wouldn’t have been allowed through the door otherwise." (2/2)

How I've missed @OpenUniversity face-to-face tutorials! As my colleague @ClaysonSara says, "walking through the empty buildings, with locked, darkened classrooms, always gives me a little thrill. That feeling I used to get when being in school at night... (1/2)

I had the privilege of being asked by @andrewdjp to write the @OpenUniversity weekly STEM welcome introduction this week. If you’d like to read it, please see the screenshot a attached and happy #PrideinSTEM day! #LGBTinSTEM

Excited for today's #MockCOP27 in Inverness! Looking forward to working with learners from Highland schools to gain a better understanding of climate justice. @OUScotland @HighlandCouncil #MockCOPHighlands

Pupils from 11 secondary schools across the Scottish Highlands are taking part in a #MockCOP27 today, to raise awareness and increase understanding of the global political conference. More info at ow.ly/WTFj50LCgBB #MockCOPHighlands @COP27P

Tomorrow schools from across the Highlands and Moray will stage their own #MockCOP27, adding their voice to the climate debate. We'll be live from Inverness to share the news and highlights of the day. #MockCOPHighlands @DYWICH @HOWDEC @HighlandCouncil 📷@ewphotograph

Come and join @OU_STEM and @OUMathsStats tomorrow in @centremk - Middleton Hall (outside John Lewis) for @mkinnovates!

@sydneypadua Haha, no not at all! Just thought you'd be interested to know we're talking about your brilliant book! 😊

@andrewdjp Oh god is this something I’m supposed to be doing?? *leafs frantically thru calendar*

Looking forward to discussing @sydneypadua's The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage at our Popular Maths Book Group tomorrow night (13 Oct, 8pm UK time). DM for link if you want to join!

@DrTrapezio @sydneypadua Yes, we've not long started, and it's quite informal. @ZoeLGriffiths organises it, so might be able to hit you up with the details! 😊

@DrTrapezio @sydneypadua Yes, on Zoom! 😊

Following #AdaLovelaceday #ALD22 we have another excellent blog post written by one of our exceptional maths students. Roshani writes about underrepresented voices in mathematics, having felt her experience of learning mathematics was too Euro focused. open.ac.uk/blogs/MathEd/i…

Happy #AdaLovelaceDay! The excellent blog post written below was written by Xiang Fu, a student of mine about what Edwin A. Abbott's 1884 novella "Flatland" tells us about the status of women in Victorian society and today.

Happy #AdaLovelaceDay! Today we celebrate and encourage #womeninstem #womeninmaths @OU_STEM @OUMathsStats
