Hello everyone! I am working on my dissertation, & my topic focuses on the social inclusion of students with autism in elementary schools. Please consider taking the survey below, & sharing it with any other educators/ administrators that you may know. Tinyurl.com/SocialInclusionASD

My friend is teaching IB physics for the first time this year and doesn’t use twitter, is there anyone on here willing to share their experience and/or resources with him?

Interesting new study on LLM use in an educational setting: "...the LLM group's participants performed worse than their counterparts in the Brain-only group at all levels: neural, linguistic, scoring." 🍎 🎢 🧪 #AcademicSky

Not exaggerating, this might be the greatest demo I’ve ever seen. Definitely trying this tomorrow!

ScotGov Teacher Intake Figures 2025: Physics: Target 131, Actual 42 Chemistry: Target 159, Actual 54 Biology: Target 163, Actual 88 Maths: Target 250, actual 75(!) These are worrying figures caused (imo) by a lack of permanent jobs post probation. Something must be done soon

I’ve been playing around with Google Gemini’s deep research functionality and it does a pretty good job at generating experimental results for common experiments. Has anyone come across kids trying to use this? #sciteachuk #iteachphysics

I’m looking to see more posts from UK- based physics/science teachers, do any #edusky experts know how I can find them?

Are you a US scientist thinking of quitting the States for Europe? Would you be willing to talk about it — anonymity is possible? Send me a DM. (Please reskeet if you have US contacts!)

#Aotearoa #NewZealand #Science We've known for over 112 years that burning fossil fuels increases CO₂ in the atmosphere. We've also known CO₂ and other greenhouse gases reduce the heat that escapes to space, keeping the planet warmer for just as long. The time to act was then, if not now. #nzpol

Every year during #LGBTHistoryMonth we reaffirm our belief that LGBT+ individuals should feel safe, seen & thrive in their place of work & study. #LGBT+ inclusivity is key to ensuring science continues to take inspiration from diversity of thought, experience & perspective rsc.li/3Q6aMo4 #ChemSky

Grok on the other place is beginning to scare me. I have never said something related to this. Seems to me like another push towards this “post-truth” that Elon seems to want to create

Giving pupils the time to explore ‘the physics’ before getting into the nitty gritty of the theory is what practical science is all about. Dispersion is always special! #IteachPhysics

Very much wish this place had a bookmarking function like the other place did, does anyone have any other way of saving posts to read later? I love seeing everyone’s DIY experiments!

I love, love, love seeing so many science and math teachers popping up on here recently. Don't just be a lurker - what made peak EduTwitter communities the best was open sharing - not just the great stuff, but the day to day tips, procedures, thoughts, etc #iteachphysics #iteachmath #EduSky

On my timeline at least, I am now seeing more educational content on BlueSky than Twitter

This may sound hokey or dated, but I think Bluesky promoters should take a page out of Twitter's book and do more to make it the official social media of conferences and perhaps even bring back #hashtags.

Decided to take the plunge and see if #EduSky was an improvement over what Twitter/X has become recently. Looking for fellow physics/science teachers to follow!
