Phenomenal. In my 10 year update of A Brief History, I make the point that in the first edition, not one disease had been successfully treated using gene therapy. Today that number is at least 7.

At lightening speed (for me), I've written up my talk from ResearchED this month. Can AI help with formative assessment? profbeckyallen.substack.com/p/can-ai-hel...

Feel like we should bring back the old twitter follow friday to boost good people on here who maybe didn't get an initial boost from the starter packs.

So follow @psurridge.bsky.social and @profjanegreen.bsky.social - two excellent and thoughtful political scientists.

Farage is content with allowing people to be murdered and tortured. I'm not on that side and never will be.

"Essays serve a learning purpose. We never taught students how to write essays just so that they would learn to write essays. We teach them to write essays as a means of helping them think."

The Great VAT Panic Or how not to run a campaign

New post just out:

"The Great VAT Panic"

The claims made by the right-wing press about VAT on private school fees were wildly wrong.

Why? What are the lessons about about (how not to) run a lobbying campaign? And what can government learn?

The Race to Find a Measles Treatment as Infections Surge The measles vaccine was so effective the disease was considered eliminated in the U.S., but a resurgence of outbreaks is spurring a need for drugs.

Get vaccinated, and make sure all your loved ones are too. Because so many Americans won't and the US is therefore becoming a health danger to the world.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

If countries deliberately reduce their workforces as populations age it will cause endemic economic failure.

Dear oh dear.

1 in 3 doctors were born overseas.

1 in 2 builders were born overseas.

1 in 6 nurses were born overseas.

1 in 4 transport workers were born overseas.

1 in 7 UK business founders were born overseas.

1 in 5 university academics were born overseas.

The UK would be screwed without them.

The fact that even the maximum student loans don't cover living costs is grotesque. The fact that they're offered at high interest rates pretty much forever just compounds the insult. A society that will help everyone but the young - who it hates. www.northamptonchron.co.uk/community/no...

Britain isn't broken We have our problems but the doomerism is getting out of hand

New post just out:

"Britain isn't broken"

We have our problems but the doomerism is getting out of hand.

I look at the real picture on crime, migration, social cohesion and the economy - rather than the dsyoptian fantasies of the radical right.

I am still after a couple of speakers for the online primary teachmeet this Wednesday! Any volunteers to speak for 10 minutes please? @primarygeogeyppc.bsky.social anyone amongst you? And please share! Thank you!

This is why I think tiering will stay in the new Science GCSEs when they come around, and for all their faults I can't see how you can properly distinguish between 18 grading points in Combined Science without them.
