My letter in today’s @irishtimes.com on behalf of the @irishsciteach.bsky.social.

Delay to English & Accounting makes sense (let’s get it right folks) but a delay to the AACs in senior science also makes sense.

Breda O’Brien is spot on in her article in today’s @irishtimes.com - the Department have decided that bullying teachers into reform is easier than actually funding or supporting it properly.

St. Columba’s College is delighted to be one of the schools participating in the TCD Physics #physics300 All Ireland Pitch Tar Drop experiment . We’re all set up in the lobby of our science building and the first data entry has been completed.

The Bee Orchid is one of my favourite native plants. The flower mimics the shape of a bee which attracts a would-be mate, who received a bag of pollen to distribute as a reward. One of a number of similar native orchids to use mimicry to attract pollinators.
