I see James Watson has died.

What did Watson discover?

Rosalind Franklin's lab notes.

Only we spell it 'S-T-E-A-L' these days.

I've always taught classes with heavy girl balances (nearly 50:50) and I wonder how much the fact I am the physics teacher helps that. When i was at school my teachers were very clear that physics was a subjects boys excelled at so girls should probably stick to other subjects and I am not that old!
NEW: Has gender balance in A-Level physics improved?

This summer, 24% of those entering A-Level physics exams were female. Physics still has the second lowest percentage of female entrants of all A-Levels. - but that's the highest percentage for at least the last twenty years.

Hello, my Wonderful #Edusky! I am looking to expand my sources for reading journal articles and scholarly magazine articles. What free (or affordable sources do you use). Key areas of interest: Education in general, Secondary Ed, International teaching, SEND, EAL, Science Teaching.

Neurodivergent minds bring a wealth of innovation to science – but many still face barriers in workplaces built for neurotypical people. We explore how organisations are rethinking recruitment, communication and culture to become truly neuroinclusive.
Rethinking workplaces for neurodivergent staff
Neurodivergent people often excel in skills highly valued in chemistry. Nina Notman investigates how employers are breaking down barriers and harnessing these talents through workplace adjustments…

Sometimes I feel really out of place in the international teaching community. I am not trying to make a tonne of money. I just want to teach, continue my career, and have a good (simple life). I have lots of local friends but work itself can feel lonely.

An if it isn't, it probably does not need "re-writing from the ground up". It almost certainly just needs clearer explanations or a couple of minor tweaks.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but that scheme of work is fine the way it is.

I thought I was reasonably tech savvy, but I didn't know about this? If this works even reasonably well it's amazing!
One action I’m taking to make my teaching more accessible is to switch on the auto-caption option in PowerPoint. This enables real-time captioning of a class including discussion. It also can translate from the spoken language to other languages. #EduSky

Sometimes I get exhausted by how often I am clearly overlooked for something simply because I am a woman, or a woman who doesn't fit a stereotype people are comfortable with.
June 17, 2025 at 5:58 AM
So much this. So many educators do not believe me that the reason I get such good engagement and behaviour is simply by treating my students like (age-appropriate) humans. If i would react badly to something, why do I think they won't?

I have only three weeks left in my current job. After that, I'll take a short break to move, and then I'll start my brand-new job. The new job excitement is real, and it will hopefully give me more opportunity to focus on edu stuff!

I will never stop being confused by this? I am on bluesky in a number of different capacaties and I am not here to try and reach a marketing demographic. I am here because I like the nature and tools of the site, and can reach enough people in my niche to exist happily.
Lots of talk today about the demise of BlueSky. For whatever it's worth, it's been a boon to indie publishers like us. Twitter and Facebook have pretty much silenced us, so the engagement here has, and continues to be, wonderful.

Stories, anecdotes, connections to the humanity behind science. All of these things are important not jsut for engagement, but for understanding!
Effective StoryTelling in Physics is live! @rbrockphysics.bsky.social shares his wisdom on how stories, when used judiciously, can both enrich learning and bring joy to teaching. #iteachphysics
