Catching up on my #GWITT well yesterday @dewhurst-ben.bsky.social

Guess what I taught last week @dewhurst-ben.bsky.social I’m quite proud of the crystals

Once again feeling immensely proud of a former student. Daisy will be on University Challenge tomorrow evening! Fingers crossed. #SciTeachUK @chatbiology.bsky.social

As part of our Royal Society Partnership Grant we’ve been trying to develop methods for measuring ecophysiological changes in Saxifrages. Last week we got stomatal density dialled down but leaf thickness indexes were a step too far. Until next week #SciTeachUK @chatbiology.bsky.social

It wasn’t raining last thing on a Friday and it was fieldwork time with Y9s @helenharden.bsky.social #SciTeachUk @chatbiology.bsky.social

The results are in for the 2nd RSB Biology Week National Spelling Bee: Y7 Amina Bolton School Girls Division Y8 Laasya North Cestrian Y9 Naina Red House School Y10 Ria & Y11 Saksham Herschel Grammar Y12 Micah New-Bridge Integrated College Y13 Amelina Bishop's Hatfield Girls School Well done!
