Trying to be more present here and so wanted to share my work in progress padlet on Diversifying the Mathematics Curriculum. I am also keen to come and lead assemblies for students and PD for teachers (free!) on this subject if anyone is interested!

On Tuesday the boy who made me a mum will be 24. I was 21, had to take a year out of uni & had no idea how it would turn out. 19 years later he quit medicine after a year, took a year out & had no idea how it would turn out. It's all turning out great ❤️😁

In #mathstoday I’ve been desperately trying to find some short videos I remember on the maths needed in various careers, aimed at KS3/4 (rather than A Level which I can find on AMSP
@meimaths.bsky.social ) I’m sure one featured Grove Lodge Vets in Brighton. Any ideas anyone pls? Or similar?

Does anyone have a nice set of simple problems to apply the #coremaths modelling cycle to? The sort of thing where students could work in groups to fill out a template of the cycle and then present their findings.

I think it's safe to say that people are pretty 'aware' right now. What we actually need is safety and allyship but happy #TransgenderAwarenessWeek anyway.
If you want a trans pin, either as a pride symbol or in solidarity, this is your regular reminder that I sell a bunch at canopyrobin.etsy.com

Last Friday, I had the honour of announcing the theme for LGBT+ History Month 2026, 'Science and Innovation'. This is my 5th LGBT+ History Month since starting with the charity in 2021!
This is an exciting theme for me as a queer science communicator.

James Watson made some tremendous contributions to science, and expressed many grotesque views, which were racist, sexist and ignorant. These are all well documented.

I think @desmos.com genuinely changed my teaching life. So glad to be able to pass that on to other people 😍
In #mathstoday our team did some training on using Desmos to teach using one of these lovely webinar recordings from @tombutton.bsky.social and @sarahdenisonmei.bsky.social.
