I was on the registration desk for most of the conference, and a scary number of people said that this was likely to be their last ViCEPHEC. Shrinking departments, closing departments, and removal of conference/travel funds all mentioned multiple times. A brilliant community in a terrible shadow.

@davidpalomas.bsky.social (UCL) spoke really well on his “student start up” model for problem-based learning in sustainable chemistry, and Frances Docherty (Glasgow) described work to improve community and self-efficacy, including use of the Numbas tool developed at Newcastle… #ViCEPHEC25 (3/n)

Reminder: electronic versions of posters and talks should be sent to the #ViCEPHEC25 email address by Thursday 21st (tomorrow). This is important because some attendees require electronic materials to fully engage with the conference.

Good luck to all students receiving their A-Level results tomorrow! We know how much this moment means and how hard you’ve worked to get here. If you’ve applied to study at UCL, we’ve prepared a helpful guide to support you through Results Day: www.ucl.ac.uk/prospective-...

Just three weeks until #ViCEPHEC25. Get in touch if you want to be added to the starter pack - we did a sweep for people named on conference abstracts, but have not systematically added attendees.

Inspired by the Cyclobutanone Photochemistry Challenge, we assessed MRSF-TDDFT for its excited-state dynamics and found that an S₃/S₂ conical intersection likely plays a key role in the photochemistry. Take a look at our new preprint: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

Are you passionate about sustainability and education reform? Join our team! 🧪 Beyond Benign seeks a Green Chemistry Commitment Program Manager to lead our higher ed initiatives that bring #GreenChemistry into classrooms across the globe. 🌎 Apply by August 1st: www.beyondbenign.org/people/green...

We're working on building a #ViCEPHEC25 starter pack, which you can find here. Starter packs let you follow a group of people at once. Message if you'd like to be added/removed - this is very much a work in progress. go.bsky.app/FffPieC

At the Advance HE Teaching & Learning 2025 Conference this week. I am excited to share my work on using sport coaching strategies to reduce resistance to active learning and to learn from fellow educators. #TLConf2025 #HigherEd #ActiveLearning

Just arrived in Birmingham for my first Horizons in STEM Higher Education Conference! Excited to connect and share my work on using PBL to boost student employability. I am presenting on Thursday. Come say hello if you're around! #UKSTEMConf25 #STEMEducation #Employability #PBL #HigherEd
