Representation has always been important to me and is part of all of my work at OCR. On LGBTQ+ STEM day, its worth thinking about how you represent a wider range of scientists in your lessons. Our STEM Contributors resource can help challenge stereotypes and bias! www.ocr.org.uk/blog/stem-co...

My daughter’s have really got into Hey You What If? on CBBC and here’s why I’m loving it: great visuals, gender-balanced narration, fantastic for critical thinking, recaps and quiz questions, and proper science. Would be great starter for KS2 and KS3 science lessons! www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Loved hearing music dedicated to Maria Sibylla Merian on Nick Grimshaw's show this morning. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... An abolitionist and botanical artist, Merian was one of the first to document the lifecycles of butterflies at a time when people believed were "born of mud"!
