RIP Tom Lehrer

"We basically have 3 choices: mitigation, adaptation & suffering... The question is what the mix is going to be. The more mitigation we do, the less adaptation will be required & the less suffering there will be" - Prof. John Holdren

Why are we letting our leaders choose suffering?!!

Would anyone like to test a question booklet I have made on Y12 probability?

Game playing and using building blocks can promote understanding and creative thinking in the classroom. This is a great little video by @head-in-the-clouds.bsky.social to whet your appetite 👇🏽

This was wonderful! Thanks for letting me know!

House flies are annoying all over the world... but fascinating too! Build our House Fly paper model to find out about insect anatomy! Learn more here: buff.ly/Jlo4KhY

AI model links consumer ratings to white wines’ chemical profiles Machine learning offers insight into how chemical markers influence perceptions of wine quality

The researchers trained a machine-learning model using mass and infra-red spectra for more than 80 white wines, gleaning volatile organic compounds, as well as things like ethanol concentration.

Infographic timeline showing the history of the ChemDraw program, including its creation in 1985, release on Mac in 1986, release on Windows in 1993, addition of prediction tools in 1997, integration with CAS SciFinder in 2014, addition of ring colouring and colour highlight features in 2019 and 2020, and the release of a cloud-powered version in 2024.

ChemDraw turned 40 this week! 🎉

I worked with Revvity Signals to put together this graphic showing how the chemical drawing program has developed from basic beginnings to the integration of features to predict spectra and highlight structural features

‘It feels cool to be a cog in change’: how doughnut economics is reshaping a Swedish town A casual mention of Kate Raworth’s theory has grown into the basis for decision making in Tomelilla

Great case study on #DoughnutEconomics that's useful for KS4/5 Social studies, Economics, Business or Politics. It's also relevant to Science and Geography.
Getting young people excited about the possibilities of other ways of doing things is incredibly rewarding!

Antarctic summer sea ice is at record lows. Here’s how it will harm the planet – and us New research explores the wide-ranging consequences of record low summer sea ice in Antarctica. From more ocean warming to extra icebergs, it’s bad news we must hear.

🧊 Antarctic sea ice is vanishing fast

A new study finds summer sea ice is at record lows, disrupting ecosystems, spawning more icebergs, and amplifying ocean warming.

Wildlife, research, & supply missions are all under threat.

The most gorgeous of larvae

These are immature Simuliidae - black flies. They sucker on to a fast-flowing river bottom & filter feed. They have beautiful cephalic fans which are filtering fans
