We are very excited to be visiting a primary school on Thursday to start a 6 month project looking at how well biodegradable and compostable plastics degrade in different environments! The energy and enthusiasm of 7-year-olds is amazing! #scicomm #chemsky

Yet more stuff piling up for the start of our big Royal Society #scicomm project. We're aiming to visit 30 schools over the next year. Quite daunted at the size of this project but very excited! #chemsky #outreach

This is still our favourite accessible activity. Tactile chromatography! Illustrating the concept of chromatography by tipping a mixture of wool and plastic balls down a tube lined with velcro! #chemsky #scicomm www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnKv...

Just put out a call for undergraduate volunteers for an outreach event and got 14 reply straight away. Lovely to see how much enthusiasm we have among the students :) #chemsky #scicomm

Never assume you're the only one that feels like they have no clue what's going on. It can look like everyone else is cruising and you're the only one struggling, but that is DEFINITELY not the case. Things are rarely as they appear. This is why sharing experiences is powerful.

We have a new outreach officer on board and are very excited to be starting our Royal Society funded BAM Project soon!! Engaging with 30 schools across Birmingham. It's ambitious and slightly terrifying! @profaliceroberts.bsky.social

Impact of outreach on future careers of postgrads from the late great Tim Harrison and others. A very important paper if you want to persuade your university to invest in outreach support for students! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
