7 years of commuting between Barrow and Preston with NORTHERN 🚆 comes to an end tonight. Whilst I’ll miss the views, I won’t miss the 5 am start 😂

Going through boxes of stuff and found this from my old part time job Maplin. I often say the skills I learnt there has helped me become a better lecturer.

After a great talk - on why #CSEdResearch is harder than Computer Science Research - Mark Guzdial joins Sue Sentance to officially unveil the Raspberry Pi Foundation Computing Education Research Centre here. This is a great initiative and it's fantastic to see it officially launched!

It was fantastic to spend the day with the BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT discussing the #DigitalSkillsGap. There is still a lot of work to do, but it is clear from today that we are all pushing in the right direction. UCLan Computing #BCSDSN

It has been fantastic to work with Naz through the British Science Association Community Buddy Programme. I can highly recommend it to any researchers looking to support their local community.

Today was a fantastic opportunity to hear from former United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. His talk was so full of passion, but also conveyed a vital message that we all need to act as Global Citizens to help achieve a sustainable future for all.

It is appalling to see how this school has been continually let down. Sacred Heart needs urgent support and funding to address these issues. Bridget Phillipson Michelle Scrogham #Barrow #Cumbria theguardian.com/education/2024…
