I miss the #edutwitter of the 2020-202. It was incredibly supportive and helped me during lockdown. Is there any accounts from the #iteachphysics here I've missed?

🚨I promised I'd say more on the Royal Society and Elon Musk, so here it is. 🚨
I've resigned my position as Associate Editor at Royal Society's journal Open Science in protest at their lack of action over Elon Musk.

Elon Musk is a proven danger to good science, but the Royal Society won’t say so. That’s why I resigned | Kit Yates
It is vital to act, and I urge colleagues to do so. How can we stand by and laud this man while he undermines scientific integrity? asks academic and author Kit Yates

Taken in early March 2020 before everything terrible. This was my last trip before lockdown and the film sat in my Holga until 2025, when I discovered it in storage. This was Redscale film that was at least 5 years old! @holgapics.bsky.social #Redscale #Holga #Mexico #Oaxaca #believeinfilm #film

If you are STILL grading teachers, it's a terrible idea.

If you are a high school physics student or undergraduate (or teacher), I highly recommend you get a copy of the Oxford Dictonary of Physics. My copy saw me through the last yr of A Level and my undergrad. Not a replacement for a textbook, but an extremely useful reference!

Any other folks with ADHD (or any other neurodiversity) are teachers? How do people find it? What kind of accommodations do you find helpful?

When I was an NQT I was given this book of physics problems using space science as a theme. I love it but some of it is out of date. I'm going to work on it updating it. Here's problem one: Spacecraft Thermal Control
And of course solutions included! ##iteachphysics
