The case for a universal SEND screener in early primary SEND provision is in crisis. A critical step towards a better system would be a universal screening process for all five- and six-year-olds, delivered and managed by teachers, argue these researchers

Strong case being made here by @joelbtalcott.bsky.social and his colleagues for better and more comprehensive screening in our primary schools, to help all children who may struggle to learn. πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

Striking images can make scientific ideas accessible to people from all walks of life. But some such pictures do more damage than good, seeding confusion & fueling widespread misconceptions of an essential topic. To illustrate, a thread about two iconic images & (mis)understanding evolution. 1/9

Excerpt from a letter that Charles Darwin sent to his friend Charles Lyell on October 1st 1861, confessing "But I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything. One lives only to make blunders..."

Excerpt from a letter that Charles Darwin sent to his friend Charles Lyell on October 1st 1861, confessing "But I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything. One lives only to make blunders..."

If you are struggling with your day, please take solace in these insightful words penned by renowned scholar Charles Darwin in 1861, perhaps the most resonant quote from his entire body of work: "But I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything...."

Now that we’re on Bluesky, it’s a good time to bring back #badsciencedrawings – a collection of figures that prove that science is more science than art.
Before Biorender, all we had was MS Paint and a dream. But ovals, lines, and lightning bolts were all we needed
