Lurpak, danish bacon, Lego, Hagar the Horrible, you boys took a helluva beating!! #NoScotlandNoParty

Had an amazing couple of days training 553(!!!) students to be TAs for the @YoungSTEMLeader Programme @StrathHaSS. Can't wait to see what they get up to!

@MrSpottle No bother pal. Big fan of your amazing books.

@MrCScience Thank you! 🙏

Can’t wait to get stuck into BAPE3 tomorrow and share with them the great work @MrSpottle does around stories and science.

@MrSpottle Sorry, Jules, just seeing this. I’m teaching an under graduate Primary education class. Did the hard sell on your books as a way of delivering innovative science in the primary classroom.

@MrCScience Oooh tell me more!

Never in doubt…

Well, that was far too flaming close! #TeamEurope

Team golf is just the best, isn’t in?! #TeamEurope

The banter from the US “fans” is terrible. Much more respectful golf fans this side of the Atlantic. #TeamEurope

Another excellent use for ChatGPT…

Stubbornness is a powerful motivator!

Frightening. I’m no expert in anything, but this is madness that this is getting pushed out by someone whose acolytes believe everything he says… bbc.com/news/articles/…

Hello all, Wee reminder about the Inspiring Young Chemists Fund from the RSC Education Community Scotland Committee!! Up to £200 available for single school application, or £500 for a collaboration. Deadline: 3 October 2025

The power of social media. Turns out it is a year today since I got offered my dream job @StrathEDU. Loved every minute!

@colinmcgill I’ve seen this in action. Completely disheartening.

This is definitely an issue and results in "assertive coursing" where pupils are discouraged from picking subjects that are seen as being too difficult.

@IanJStewartChem Every cloud, and all that!

@MrCScience At least the grass won't need cut for a while!!

I don’t mind warm days, but these warm nights can just beat it!

My first group of ITE students are about to start their probation year this week. So excited for them, and can’t wait to hear how they all get on.

Good luck to everyone one #SQAResultsDay. First one in almost 20 years where I’ve had no skin in the game, which is really odd! Just remember, #NoWrongPath
