Hi Dave, is this per week, month, year?

Wasnt aware of this....

What a sky!

What does a scientist look like? Children are drawing women more than ever before Study is based on 20,860 sketches drawn by children over 5 decades

· #AcademicSky ·
When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women. That's the main conclusion of a new study that compiled information about 20,860 pictures drawn by students age 5 to 18 over 5 decades.

Graphic that reads "The 2026 Grading Conference is June 16-18. Posters, talks, workshops, and panel discussions all welcome! Abstracts are due February 13th. Scan the QR code for more information."

Friends, if you're doing cool things around alternative grading in your classroom, your research, your teaching center, or your institution, we want to hear from you at The Grading Conference! It's held virtually June 16-18, and abstracts are due tomorrow. Link in the comments.

‘ Education is a public good, I don’t think it is a commodity’ Well worth watching this clear outline of the grossly unfair English student loan system. For all the problems we have in HE finance & fees in Ireland, at least we have avoided this type of catastrophe. #edusky

It is so annoying when you find a call for funding proposals and the deadline is 4 days away and you have a long to-do list. To bother OR NOT to bother putting something together last minute?

Liquid is falling from the sky. I feel like ive had this experience before, but it was some time ago. Weird that happened on the day im going to the beach!

.... to how education can evolve to meet the needs of 21st-century students, from the micro-level of classroom observations to the macro-level implications of AI and game-based learning.

What a finish to the game!!!!! Huge win!

Given all that is happening in 'other places' I thought it might be a good time to share this again. I think there is a chance that we could generate a bit of engagement here but who knows. Get in touch if you are interested in joining. go.bsky.app/8FJAkMG
