The third year chemists decided to take a break from studying and build me a Chemis-tree. 10/10 for effort. The snowman is my personal favourite. 🎅

With Spotify wrapped taking over the world I thought would share mine. Clearly a big fan of my PhD supervisors podcast - Beyond Survival: The New Teacher Podcast. A fantastic listen and lots of wisdom from Colin McGill and his colleagues at Edinburgh Napier University.

Something I always tell my students is the best way to learn is failure. Practicing what I preach today as it turns out pitching a business idea to a panel of experts in one minute is not my strong point! Delighted for the winners though, innovation and creativity at its finest! #PitchPerfect

Keeping up with the times and excited to have migrated to Bluesky from X. The chemical education research community continues to thrive, and I'm thrilled to be part of it! Looking forward to sharing insights from my ongoing research and engaging with everyone on here. #ChemEd #ScienceEducation
