A promotional flyer for Moss Safari educational resources titled "Change and Adapt - Follow-on resources." The flyer invites 10-14 year olds to "Do a Moss Safari" and download a free resource that explores how tardigrades adapt to urban environments and whether the impacts of urbanisation can be reversed. The flyer features the Moss Safari logo, a background image of fallen leaves in an urban setting, and a photo of a printed resource page with information and images of tardigrades. Text mentions that the resource is free when subscribing at www.mosssafari.com.

It's British Science Week next week! Why not do a Moss Safari and use these special resources to learn about how tardigrades change and adapt to living in cities?

It's that time of the month when web hosting fees for compoundchem.com leave my account. They've increased again this year, so it now costs me almost £60 per month to keep all the graphics freely available.

If you'd like to support these costs, I'd hugely appreciate it!

Make the most of your time @associationscied.bsky.social's Annual Conference and come along to the evening socials. A great opportunity to network and make new friends. Looking forward to seeing you there.

If just a fraction of my followers watched this playlist whilst logged into youtube this holiday, my channel would get monetised, allowing me to pay for the upkeep on the PhysicsEd website. Are you able to help me? Pls repost to help out. Thank you. Dan

That's great to hear. @associationscied.bsky.social has so much to offer techs at all stages of their career, from professional to personal development. Technicians are definitely not overlooked here!

I'm sadly not surprised to see that technician wellbeing has declined. Some of the stories shared by technicians on the @preproom.bsky.social forums, and the technician facebook group, are just appalling.

Chemistry teacher? If you're looking for a book for some subject-specific CPD, then I highly recommend any/all of these.
