Yes, two of my friends have deranged stalkers who are free to send visceral threats about how they're going to be raped, and that the police lack the capacity and power to do anything about it, but that's a fair price to get this dangerous individual off our fields!!

Having an NMR background, I'm very used to incredible stretches in the field of backcronyms, but "VR-HEd:SETS (Virtual Reality in Higher Education: Sharing Educational Tips and Stories)" is an astounding effort from the education community.

I promised some #ViCEPHEC / #ViCEPHEC25 people I'd dump a load of this in a folder. It's on an as-is basis. I'll work on curating and making it better later.

Genuinely I have no idea where this six year old found time in her schedule to learn APT.

A2: Inclusive design is hard! As a cheeky plug, I’d draw back on last weeks’s #LTHEchat and the Designing for Diverse Learners Guidance that we’ve produced. It’s designed for stuff just like this!

I think we're good to reveal the whole Christmas #Chemistree at Hull.
100 pieces of glassware (I think) in total. No liquids in it this time as I've dangled lights into the flasks instead.
