Excited to be speaking at the Festival of Education.

I’ll be sharing work from my PhD project with the Milner Centre for Evolution.

We’ll explore misconceptions, strategies and what research says about improving understanding of evolution.

I’m back at Winchester Science Centre today for their amazing Home Education Day! 🎉
I’ll be delivering live demos of my PhD Evoscope project in the Big Science Live space — sharing research, curiosity, and hands-on science with some fantastic learners.
Absolutely love being back here. Whoop! 🚀🔬

Is there a cooler way to enter your workspace for the day? 🚀
I’m at the HIAS Primary Science Conference today, running workshops at the Winchester Science Centre to share my Evoscope PhD project.

A great day of curiosity, creativity, and primary science in action.

Another research day, another unconventional poster. Accessible content with audio and visual QR codes. Let’s banish the boring!

It arrived! 📖 I shall henceforth be sending all of my gifts to be wrapped by @bertsbooks.bsky.social
Gorgeous wrapping and a gorgeous idea. Thank you.

Being pushed to choose between your values and your role at the BBC is unfair and painful. The fact that you chose compassion and solidarity speaks volumes about who you are. I’m really sorry you’re going through this, and I want you to know how supported you are.

Excited to be at the STEM Learning UK National Primary Science Conference!
I’ll be running a workshop demoing our Evoscope study with Milner Centre for Evolution (University of Bath) and chatting to teachers about getting involved.

Very much recommend giving this a watch. Turi’s work is always of the highest standard.

🧫 🔬 I’m excited to be running free Evoscope demos at the Winchester Science Centre Home Education Day on 5th December!

Can’t wait to meet home-educating families and explore how evolution unfolds in real time through hands-on experiments.

The 2025 Curriculum Review is great news for STEM

✅ Depth over breadth
✅ Hands-on science
✅ Digital literacy
✅ Equity & progression.

My FREE Evolution Project brings these STEM priorities to life through engaging, hands-on learning.

Such sad news. We were due to see you in Cardiff. Thank you for trying to spread the joy beyond London.

Clades and Clades Prehistoric The evolutionary card game.

For years I pondered how to make a game about evolution, and my answer is Clades. Players match animals according to their positions on the evolutionary tree of life. Everyone plays at once so it’s fast. FWIW, I get royalties on this one. Kids love animals! #evolution

Oh no! We have tickets and are really looking forward to it. We can’t get to London easily living in deepest darkest Wiltshire, so a massive thank you for trying to ensure accessibility.

Excited to be presenting at the STEM Learning Primary Conference!
I’ll be sharing practical tips for teaching evolution in the classroom, plus giving attendees a chance to get hands-on with our Evoscope project, developed at the @milnerevolution.bsky.social

Fantastic news that my package is being shared by EESW / STEM Cymru.
I’m proud to be part of this work through @milnerevolution.bsky.social collaborating with inspiring people and organisations who are passionate about promoting STEM.

This is going to be an excellent talk. Can’t wait.

Good grief, you found a seat on the train!

The first ALSO festival - on Autism, great minds and our failure to make space for them #autism

Great start to the day here in York. Some fantastic talks, workshops and networking opportunities. @stemlearning.bsky.social

Your poetry really hits home Robin. Truly wonderful.

Well deserved!

I love being a humanist school speaker. Especially when I get lovely thank you letters like this 🥰 @humanists.uk

How to bring experimental evolution to the classroom Pupils of all ages can benefit from witnessing evolution in real time - and it’s now possible in schools, say this researcher from the University of Bath

It's Evolution Fact Friday! Did you know that you can see evolution happening in real time? Our @bethmorillo-hall.bsky.social & @taylorlabgroup.bsky.social have developed #Evoscope, an education package for teachers to bring the process of evolution to life in real time!

@cephid.world thank you for an amazing talk and for letting us all have a go.

A very cool laser harp demonstration at my monthly Cafe Scientifique. What a way to spend a Tuesday night!

Luckily you don’t. There is a link on the article that takes you to our website. You can read about it all there.
I’ve popped the link below for you

Thank you! It’s been a real team effort. I’m very lucky to have such amazing supervisors and lab group behind this. The content and activities are aimed at students aged 8-16. It may be a bit simplistic for years 12/13. Having said that, it would be great for those who may have misconceptions/gaps.
