The unseen, behind-the-scenes, surprisingly time-consuming and logistics-wrangling pre-prep to make events run smoothly!

All set for @festivaloftomorrow this week!

Happy #ValentinesDay
Why not share some LOVE for science and STEM ?
Get curious with chromatography, explore dissolving, density and diffusion, find your heart beat and fold an origami heart ❤
What science will you discover?

It was an absolute delight to join #NISciFest for hands-on science in The Paper Lab today - exploring science to try at home!
Thanks to everyone who joined in to investigate chromatography, optical illusions, capillary action, forces and more!

I spotted some daffodils sprouting earlier, so it seemed like a good idea to share this post on #DaffodilDissection again!

Happy #Imbolc, ushered in by Brigid and her hare. Nature is stirring, there’s a full moon. The winter is ebbing away. The seeds scattered last year are waking up. Pat yourself on the back , you’ve made it through another winter.

I am making the move away from X. I've been cutting back over the last couple of years, but I think 2026 is the time to move away. It's a shame to lose such a massive network of educators, but I'm hoping to find you in other places. You can find me here:
