I definitely ruined it by speaking up about misogyny, ableism, management sycophancy and sexual harassment. If only I had just kept my goddamn mouth shut and let the men keep on doing whatever they wanted. What a spoilsport.

You absolutely could not make this up. NHS graphic that schools are distributing in the UK to give 'information' about childhood illnesses. THEY HAVE LITERALLY LEFT COVID TILL LAST AND IT IS BLANK. Message: ' f your child gets Covid..which you'll know because..um...vibes...um..do nothing I guess?'

This is exactly it. 👇

I am so tired of living in a world where constantly are told ‘organisations/people cannot do x’ and then, when asked what happens if they do, being met with bafflement and silence. In my experience, organisations and people ABSOLUTELY DO X and we are not able to hold them to account

I am so delighted to invite you to this event, hosted by the British Educational Research Association, in December: www.bera.ac.uk/event/arts-b... where I and Joe will be talking about writing songs about research! ✍️🎵

Currently on a training day in #AI ‘in action’ in universities. Trainer told everyone to use AI to write recommendation letters for students. People who receive these letters (jobs, grants, admissions)- what is it like receiving them? Do you notice or care if they are AI-generated?

@2write.bsky.social I wonder if this might be of interest?

You've got just a few days left to enter our infographic competition, open to any student aged 11-16 in #Scotland. More information here: rss.org.uk/RSS/media/8.... #MathsWeekScot

It's Sunday night - and we'd love to plan a #maths lesson for you. Please enjoy some lesson materials spanning #stats and #ecology - with a bonus that we are also running an infographic design competition for students where they could win a book bundle! #MathsWeekScot

Friends! We got to interview the excellent @cristinacost.bsky.social about #AI in #education and it was the perfect antidote to the vague, hype-filled nonsense that seems to be everywhere right now. ⬇️

Are you a student in #Scotland? You could enter our infographic competition & win a lovely bundle of books related to maths, stats, biology & fiction by Scottish authors. Closing date 10th October at midnight. Enter here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Please share! #MathsWeekScot

NEW UPDATE: Here is my monthly update for September on recent #research around the issue of #AI use in #education - please share widely! youtu.be/5x1NrUPY898?...

‘travellers are learning when they arrive at their would-be destination..they've been fed incorrect information or steered to a place that only exists in the hard-wired imagination of a robot.’ www.bbc.com/travel/artic...

It's a double video day (so rare it almost never happens!) Firstly, my #September update on the latest research in #AI in #education which you can watch here: youtu.be/5x1NrUPY898?...

Oooh, this looks very interesting 👀⬇️

I am extremely excited to share with you our third episode of #ResearchParty , where @darrenmacey.bsky.social and I review education books. This month, it is The Ultimate Guide to Adaptive Teaching by Sue Cowley @suecowley.bsky.social which came out in April 2025 - enjoy!

Here's the final day of this week's #StatsInTheWild challenges! Have a go, then head over to our website for more info on the new Stats in the Wild resources >> mathsweek.scot/schools/lear... #UKMathsChat #MathsToday #EduSky #MathsWeekScot

A gorgeous video for our last daily challenge of #MathsWeekScot courtesy of science.ebird.org/en/status-an... What can you see happening to the global population of barn swallows over time? What stories can you tell about this data? #StatsInTheWild @mathsweek.scot @royalstatsoc.bsky.social

‘Can you guess the bird from the pie chart?’ is a pretty cool intersection between #mathematics and #biology 😁🪶

It's Saturday of #MathsWeekScot - a perfect day for some #birdwatching. Here is our daily #StatsinTheWild challenge. Can you guess the type of finch from the pie chart? @mathsweek.scot @kateywhyte.bsky.social @altealorenzo.bsky.social @rss-teach.bsky.social

Welcome to Friday of #MathsWeekScot - and here is today's daily mini challenge from us! #StatsInTheWild Do let us know if you tried it with students, and if so how it went.

Friends, I have a few duplicate copies of my books left over from signings- if you would like one, I will sign it to you (or anyone else as a gift) and send to you for the bargain price of £12 including postage (UK only). Send me a message- first-come, first-served as I only have a few!

It's another day of #MathsWeekScot and here is another mini challenge for you, based on exploring ideas of statistics and biology. By now you may be guessing that one of us is pretty obsessed with #grasshoppers... 🦗 #StatsInTheWild

These are both beautiful and instantly recognisable- excellent job! #MathsWeekScot

It is Wednesday of #MathsWeekScot @mathsweekscot and here is today's #StatsInTheWild challenge for you! @scotstemambassador.bsky.social @royalstatsoc.bsky.social @robertcuffe.bsky.social @rssdiversity.bsky.social @rssedinburgh.bsky.social @rss-teach.bsky.social might enjoy this!

If you do try this with students, make sure to tell them that I (Cambridge-educated mathematician) got my own problem wrong yesterday, so there is some exciting likelihood they can do better than me on this today... 😊 #ITeachMath #MTBoS #MathsWeekScot

I find this to be particularly excellent ⬇️

Welcome to Maths Week Scotland! Every day this week we will be posting mini-challenges related to statistics and biology that you can try - if you like them, you can find our #StatsinTheWild materials here: rss.org.uk/resources/ed... Here is Tuesday's #StatsInTheWild Challenge! #MathsWeekScot

Bewildered by all the talk about #AI in education? We have been hard at work making videos to help teachers to navigate an evidence-based approach. You can watch interviews with researchers, our round-up of the the evidence, and analysis of DfE & Ofsted publications:

Anyone interested in #artbased or #creative research, you are warmly invited to attend the Cambridge Creative Research Conference (CCRC) 2025, on Sat 25th October 2025, online via Zoom, at 10:00 – 17:00 BST. It is free to attend! Tickets here: lucyrycroftsmith.com/cambridge-cr... please share!

@crmethodsjnl.bsky.social this might be of interest!

Are you a #maths teacher? We are delighted to share a brand new set of materials for teaching #statistics for students aged 11-16, and we'd love your feedback on them! #ITeachMath #MathsWeekScot rss.org.uk/resources/ed...

Schools & teachers, are you finding yourself giving out 'information' like this to students and parents around #AI ? This is poor communication - reductive, non-specific, & shutting conversations down instead of opening them up. We should be doing better. How can we, as researchers, help?

Are you new to teaching statistics this year? We've got you. Have a look at some of our comprehensive resources from students aged 11-16 - we've got teacher guides, videos, & student materials: rss.org.uk/resources/ed... With thanks to @mathsweek.scot and @royalstatsoc.bsky.social #StatsInTheWild

And as I always say, we should listen to GAISE. 😬

What is ‘evidence-informed’ #statistics #teaching? As part of our work reviewing the evidence for #MathsWeekScot we (@honeypisquared.bsky.social and I) have collected a few ideas and links which may be helpful… #ITeachMath

Is your school embedding #AI tools this September, following DfE encouragement? You might enjoy our new video: AI in Education: How evidence-based is the June 2025 Ofsted AI report? youtu.be/tLqf1AT6LLA?...

Another scrappy little sketch to rest your eyes on.

Did you know that @darrenmacey.bsky.social and I have a podcast (which we also video in case you enjoy seeing our faces?) You can watch episode 2 here, which contains much more reference to Satan, crypto and cryptids than either of us expected… youtu.be/9DpL-bOrjO8?...
