A shot of my poster at #QMiP2025 last week - this paper on educational intervention company leaders’ use of research is currently under review. QMiP was such a great experience and left me feeling up-skilled, can’t wait for the next one #edusky #academicsky

One final highlight from ENCoRE: Paul Howard-Jones on “the journey from neuroscience to education”, a fascinating commentary on the history and current state of efforts to bring education and the science of learning together. Thoroughly enjoyed. #edusky #edneurosky

Another highlight from ENCoRE: Gemma Goldenberg on the effects of learning outdoors on attention. Very striking findings - those students with the worst attentional difficulties and those who preferred working outdoors demonstrated greatest increases in on-task behaviour when working outside #edusky

Some highlights from the first ENCoRE conference in London - the first for me being my own lightning talk on challenges in evaluating educational interventions! It was super fun to deliver some key messages in 5 minutes and get people thinking about evaluation methods #edusky #edneurosky

My poster from IMBES 2024, sharing my study on how developers of commercial educational interventions interact with academic research evidence. An essential topic for understanding how to improve uptake of evidence-informed practices in the classroom. #edusky

I could go on, but fifth and final highlight from this third and final day of IMBES 2024 has to be this sumptuous after-dinner chocolate mousse. When in Belgium, eh?

Fourth highlight from Day Three of IMBES 2024: fellow CEN member Roisin Perry (third from left) awarded a well-deserved Best Poster prize for her study on SES and working memory. Congratulations Roisin!! And congratulations to all of the other equally deserving winners as well. #academicsky

Third highlight from Day Three of IMBES 2024: keynote speaker Stanislas Dehaene exploring new methods in understanding reading problems. Having taught the work of this giant in the field, it was an impressive experience to hear him speak in the grand hall at KU Leuven. #edusky #neuroskyence

Second highlight from Day Three of IMBES 2024: this perfect slide by Yushuang Liu on some of the challenges conducting research in classrooms. Any applied/field researcher will resonate with this 🫠 #edusky #academicsky #neuroskyence

First highlight of Day Three of IMBES 2024: symposium and panel discussion on “Bridging Research and Practice across the Globe” with Kendra McMahon, Adriano Linzarini, Sonia Guerriero and @thebandb.bsky.social. Enlightening and hopeful. #edusky

Third highlight from Day Two of IMBES 2024: this elegant poster by @alexa-mogan.bsky.social comparing the traditional long division method to the partial quotients method. TLD is a bit of a bugbear of mine, and as educators we need more evaluations of specific approaches like this! #edusky

Second highlight of Day Two of IMBES 2024: my PhD supervisor Michael Thomas sharing his vision for “A defensible science of learning” to a packed room. A vision too grand to share in just a few characters, but happy to discuss with anyone interested! #edusky #neuroskyence

First highlight from Day Two of IMBES 2024: @grammer.bsky.social’s energising keynote “Conceptual Clutter and Measurement Mayhem”. We need to flip the script on EF in the classroom, building from what we can observe in context instead of imposing what we think EF is and how it works #cogsci #edusky

Today at IMBES my favourite talk was by @zoepurcell.bsky.social unpicking the relationships between partisan identity, prior beliefs, and reasoning. Partisan identity doesn’t make reasoning less accurate, but it does make the experience of reasoning subjectively more difficult. #academicsky

Anybody at IMBES in Leuven, Belgium? I and the rest of the CEN gang will be there over the next few days. Come up and say hi! I’ll be sharing a poster on understanding how private educational intervention developers use research at the session on Friday. #neuroskyence #academicsky #edusky

A few weeks after the fact, but here is myself and a friend queuing for a signing by Colm Tóibín at the Hay Festival following a fascinating audience with him and @stephenfry.bsky.social where we were treated to a reading from his new book, Long Island. Highly recommend all of his works. 💙📚

📚💙One of my current reads - insight into the roots of the suffragette movement, in the passionate and engaging voice of Emmeline Pankhurst herself. What fascinates/horrifies me is how little some things have changed in a century. A must read for any history lover.
