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 wp.me/s4aPLT-chemd... #ChemSky

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.

A primary headteacher recently got in touch: what are schools doing about AI in reports? Allowing it? Banning it? Here's what we found out... 🤷‍♀️ Over half of teachers said their school has no policy ✅ 33% say AI use is explicitly allowed 🚫 5% of schools have banned it

Dorothy Hodgkin was born #OTD in 1910. She won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her work using X-ray crystallography to determine complex chemical structures 🏅 wp.me/s4aPLT-hodgkin #ChemSky 🧪

Today in Chemistry History infographic on Dorothy Hodgkin. Hodgkin used X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of vitamin B12, for which she won a Nobel Prize. She went on to determine the structure of insulin.

Our pupils loved @jimalkhalili.bsky.social talk on time travel yesterday at GCSE live. We love the simplicity in which you explained some tricky concept! Have you ever seen Beyond the infinite two minutes? It is one the most original time travelling concepts I've ever seen!

I frequently share this study with my pupils. The book Inner Drive made '99 studies that every teacher needs to know' is great.

Another brilliant piece by Becky! Some excellent food for thought, even before it considers AI use for teachers.

The problem with a lot of ocean "exploitation" is that it's like mining a human for calcium. Yes, a human body contains ~1kg of calcium, and you could take it out, but it's already *doing* quite a lot of useful things, and the human has far more potential to help you if you leave the calcium alone.

@edusky.bsky.social what would be a good hashtag for teachers to share how they are using AI effectively? #EdAI? #AIideas? #TeacherAI? This week I used it effectively for -creating model data + graphs -making a rubric for a computer room cover lesson -letters -summarising opinions in a poll

I set my year 8s a Minecraft education hw today at 4pm. They have 1 week to make series and parallel circuits using redstone. A pupil has already emailed it me his hw by 7pm! That is some good engagement.
