In today's seminar we covered cognitive load theory!
Absolute highlight giving pedagogy workshops to our school placement students. It's the one time I get to teach this stuff! We covered construvism and constructive alignment today.

Son: "Daddy I want you to carve me a Super Mario pumpkin"
Daddy: "That's too difficult for me, how about a Minions one?"
Son: "no I want a super mario one"
One hour and lots of swearing later...

If I was on #thetraitors, I'd dread to think how often my name would be spelt incorrectly at the round table.

University chemistry departments & course closures in the UK is leading to the emergence of ‘cold spots’ - areas where the subject cannot be studied within a reasonable travel time - says @rsc.org. Students from lower SE backgrounds could be affected the most: www.chemistryworld.com/news/chemist...

What I've noticed about AI generated essays and literature reviews that I've marked is that they don't have any figures.
If students read the papers they are more likely to include them, but ChatGPT essays don't create any.

Going to have a much needed week off work. Feeling completely burnt out.
This year has been relentless with no real break since September due to constant admin from senior management.

For the past month we've had daily starling mumurations over our house.
It's just the most wonderful thing to watch.

It's only been live for a few weeks, but it's already the most read feature of the year – and the one I had least to do with! So props to Jen and Rebecca for this look at the team who came up with signs for long + complex chemical terms

The new signs bringing greater understanding to organic chemistry
Rebecca Trager speaks to a US team developing a sign language lexicon for chemistry concepts that combines form with meaning to make the field more accessible for everyone

Something that has been on my mind for the last few weeks:
Is there such a thing as a digital chemistry syllabus that could go into an UG degree?
If not, should there be and what would it look like?
