fascinating research work by Nilanjana Dasgupta about long term impact of peer mentoring and learning communities to increase outcomes of women and working class students. But why is having a male mentor almost as bad as doing nothing? Can we train them better? DiSTEM Network


So interesting to hear how Advance HE Athena swan has been adapted in India as GATI. But worried this now feels like a bit of a classic colonialism thing with UK exporting how to do gender equality?! IOPDiversity





Conference season is well and truly underway - Science Made Simple are busy prepping for sessions at BIG - STEM Communicators Network conference Cardiff University and our 22nd birthday soiree and prop giveaway! Hope to see you there! Might even sneak in a cheeky Best Demo entry if Ashley Kent allows 😉

We’re getting ready for a props giveaway and Science Made Simple 22nd birthday soirée tomorrow at the awesome BIG - STEM Communicators Network event. Our Gethin made a little thing to celebrate!!

Wonderful welcome to Cardiff BIG - STEM Communicators Network and the world of AI from Prof Alan Preece Cardiff Uni Computer Science and Informatics


So hard to choose from the 4 parallel sessions at BIG - STEM Communicators Network but learning loads from the video session with Katie Steckles Sam Longford and Dr Elizabeth Mills just learnt what a chatblast is!!


The BIG - STEM Communicators Network #BestDemo is underway! With Dr Elizabeth Mills as an awesome starfish!


Good to see Peter Bickerton enjoying Techniquest at the BIG - STEM Communicators Network event!!

Congratulations to the awesome @SarahBearchell for making history as the first person the win the double. We’ll call it the Joshlestone. Josh award in 2014 and Beetlestone award 2024. BIG - STEM Communicators Network great to be at Techniquest for it too! Emotional night!


Lots of excitement in the BIG - STEM Communicators Network room hearing about the opportunity to present a demo in the Faraday Lecture theatre Royal Institution - nothing is off the table "we want to see some shit on fire" I think was the quote... dan.science

The stakes are high, the water’s rough, but Taylor Swift’s advice on misinformation can help us navigate the storm. Do your research! buff.ly/3XkJIEK

I still haven't found where this is - and I work in the building!! Help Cardiff University Engineering ??

Enjoying the positive behaviours workshop with Cardiff Uni Physics DiSTEM Network - thinking about trust. What do you think these letters stand for?


It was so great for us Science Made Simple to work with CUBRIC and School of Psychology on this and can't wait to share our findings in October!

Useful for Physics teachers? BOLHS Science dept @Ysgol_Glantaf

Wonderful maths investigation today came out of which mug to have for my cuppa! On the way I discovered that a male and female gulp volume is different, and that my son got more tea than me... (not procrastinating over my marking at all!!) IFLScience Science Made Simple
