Highlights from last week's 10th Horizons in STEM HE Conference. Talks, poster, workshops, networking - something for everyone @astonuniversity.bsky.social #UKSTEMConf25

Honoured to present last week at @ukstemconf.bsky.social about the experiences of UK PhD demonstrators, role ambiguity, identity, community bonds, and career implications. Paper is linked below. Thank you to those who attended the talk and asked questions. It was a great discussion #UKSTEMConf25

Day 2 at @ukstemconf.bsky.social 🎉 We're celebrating innovation in STEM during our session with our #LSTeachingInnovationAwards winners, Drs Alexandra Moores & Emma Hargreaves @kent.ac.uk & Dr Juliet Stoltenkamp @uwconline.bsky.social. We're here all day, so come and say hello at our stand!

A great time to connect over a delicious conference dinner at Thinktank Science Museum #UKSTEMConf25

Lovely to hear about the history of the conference. Great start to the conference #UKSTEMConf25

Looking forward to hearing from Sam Johnson about self-efficacy and learning on online introductory STEM modules #UKSTEMConf25

Great first subject talk #UKSTEMConf25 by Sam Johnson. Using the self-efficacy framework to better understand first year students to better. My take homes: 1) mastery is success as well as practice 2) stress is important 3) students need skills/ framework to manage stress and time management

Kathryn Dudley next up talking about barriers to uptaking a BMS placement #UKSTEMConf25 My take homes: 1) accessibility of BMS placements is important 2) funding is key 3) travel and cost is a close second 4) those with disabilities and those who are carers are less likely to apply

@annajkirkham.bsky.social starts the lab skills strand with her work on integrating videos into labs. #ukstemconf25 My take homes are: 1) videos of lab skills can be used by students at different times 2) ask students what videos they'd find helpful 3) film students are great at making videos

Innovative work from Holly Matthews et al in using card cards to teach health and safety #ukstemconf25 My take homes: 1) These card games are awesome 2) and an open resource figshare.edgehill.ac.uk/articles/edu... figshare.edgehill.ac.uk/articles/edu... figshare.edgehill.ac.uk/articles/edu...

@rossp22.bsky.social from @astonuniversity.bsky.social talking at #UKSTEMConf25 about interprofessional learning.

Super excited for the #LSTeachingInnovationAwards #UKstemconf25

Always a nice surprise to be cited in someone's talk (especially when it's not about membrane biochemistry!) #UKSTEMconf25

Amazing start to @ukstemconf.bsky.social #UKStemConf25. Nice to hear about the history of the conference and looking forward to the next couple of days.
