We’re thrilled to welcome Dr @farhanagokhool.bsky.social (University of Bedfordshire) as our second keynote at #UKSTEMConf25!
She’ll share her insights around maths anxiety, and how inclusive, empathetic support can break down barriers for underrepresented & neurodiverse STEM learners.

1/ Happy Random Acts of Kindness Day! ❤️
Why not celebrate by spreading kindness and experimenting in the kitchen? 🍳
Cooking isn’t just about feeding mouths — it’s a meaningful way to connect with others. Plus, it sneaks in a bit of maths and creativity too! 🤏🏻

Today the eSTEeM team have the great privilege of choosing our new student reference panel. So many great applicants, it will be very hard to choose. Students need to be the driving force behind the direction of scholarship and be the loudest voice, so the choice is important. Happy day! #SoTLsky
