Loved attending the Festival of Education,championing evolution education and sharing my PhD project. Admittedly,being scheduled opposite Dame Maggie Aderin may have made attracting a crowd slightly ambitious, but it was a real privilege to share a slot with someone so inspiring. #EvolutionEducation

What a wonderful way to start day two at the Festival of Humanism, reading this brilliant book by @drcarpineti.bsky.social accompanied by the sound of waves.

Publication day for the 10 year, totally rewritten, anniversary edition of A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived. arutherford.substack.com/p/a-brief-hi...

NEW-(ish) BOOK KLAXON. On its ten year anniversary, a major new updated anniversary edition, with 35k new words and shiny shiny gold on the cover. open.substack.com/pub/arutherf...

Happy Birthday to David Attenborough 🌍 Growing up watching his documentaries is a huge part of why I love biology and evolution so much. Thank you for everything you’ve done for wildlife, conservation and education over the years #DavidAttenborough #Evolution #EvolutionEducation

Excited to be speaking at the Festival of Education. I’ll be sharing work from my PhD project with the Milner Centre for Evolution. We’ll explore misconceptions, strategies and what research says about improving understanding of evolution. #Educationfest #Evolution

I’m back at Winchester Science Centre today for their amazing Home Education Day! 🎉 I’ll be delivering live demos of my PhD Evoscope project in the Big Science Live space — sharing research, curiosity, and hands-on science with some fantastic learners. Absolutely love being back here. Whoop! 🚀🔬

Is there a cooler way to enter your workspace for the day? 🚀 I’m at the HIAS Primary Science Conference today, running workshops at the Winchester Science Centre to share my Evoscope PhD project. A great day of curiosity, creativity, and primary science in action. #stemeducation #evolution

Another research day, another unconventional poster. Accessible content with audio and visual QR codes. Let’s banish the boring!

It arrived! 📖 I shall henceforth be sending all of my gifts to be wrapped by @bertsbooks.bsky.social Gorgeous wrapping and a gorgeous idea. Thank you.

Excited to be at the STEM Learning UK National Primary Science Conference! I’ll be running a workshop demoing our Evoscope study with Milner Centre for Evolution (University of Bath) and chatting to teachers about getting involved. #STEMLearning #PrimaryScience #Evoscope #ScienceEducation

Very much recommend giving this a watch. Turi’s work is always of the highest standard.

🧫 🔬 I’m excited to be running free Evoscope demos at the Winchester Science Centre Home Education Day on 5th December! Can’t wait to meet home-educating families and explore how evolution unfolds in real time through hands-on experiments. www.bath.ac.uk/campaigns/di...

The 2025 Curriculum Review is great news for STEM ✅ Depth over breadth ✅ Hands-on science ✅ Digital literacy ✅ Equity & progression. My FREE Evolution Project brings these STEM priorities to life through engaging, hands-on learning. www.bath.ac.uk/campaigns/di... #STEM #CurriculumReview

For years I pondered how to make a game about evolution, and my answer is Clades. Players match animals according to their positions on the evolutionary tree of life. Everyone plays at once so it’s fast. FWIW, I get royalties on this one. Kids love animals! #evolution www.atlas-games.com/clades

Excited to be presenting at the STEM Learning Primary Conference! I’ll be sharing practical tips for teaching evolution in the classroom, plus giving attendees a chance to get hands-on with our Evoscope project, developed at the @milnerevolution.bsky.social #STEMEducation #PrimarySTEM #STEMLearning

Fantastic news that my package is being shared by EESW / STEM Cymru. I’m proud to be part of this work through @milnerevolution.bsky.social collaborating with inspiring people and organisations who are passionate about promoting STEM. #EESW #stemeducation #ScienceCommunication #Evolution

Busy day teaching evolution at the Natural History Museum (alongside a judgy fox)🦊 @milnerevolution.bsky.social

This is going to be an excellent talk. Can’t wait.

The first ALSO festival - on Autism, great minds and our failure to make space for them #autism

Great start to the day here in York. Some fantastic talks, workshops and networking opportunities. @stemlearning.bsky.social

I love being a humanist school speaker. Especially when I get lovely thank you letters like this 🥰 @humanists.uk

This dog 😍

It's Evolution Fact Friday! Did you know that you can see evolution happening in real time? Our @bethmorillo-hall.bsky.social & @taylorlabgroup.bsky.social have developed #Evoscope, an education package for teachers to bring the process of evolution to life in real time! www.tes.com/magazine/tea...

A very cool laser harp demonstration at my monthly Cafe Scientifique. What a way to spend a Tuesday night!

Its here! Finally published. www.tes.com/magazine/tea...

🚨 Are you ready for something awesome? Of course you are. Something BIG is coming to schools… and it’s going to change everything. Kids. Evolution. One day. That’s all I’m saying… for now. 👀

Ever wonder how I make stickers? 🤔 Here I'm working with @bethmorillo-hall.bsky.social to make stickers for Evoscope 🔬

A brilliant video by the wonderful Professor Turi King. Well worth a watch. www.bbc.co.uk/videos/cy8ep...

Who would get rid of this gem? My gain!

UK friends! Please fill out this government form to have your say on science education. Evolution is fundamental to biology but remains a footnote in the curriculum. We need to raise its profile and push for biology to be valued as highly as chemistry and physics. forms.office.com/pages/respon...

Are you in Dorset on 8th March and want to go pond dipping? Well, you can....🪄

Err obviously it’s Costasiella kuroshimae! It's undeniably cute, but its incredible adaptations make it even more fascinating. Perfect for engaging children in lessons. I absolutely love it! Yes I’m in my 40’s and have a cuddly version. Don’t judge. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Tonight’s #DarwinDay lecture with @bengarrod.bsky.social was a masterclass in science public engagement. Brilliant!

Happy Darwin day! What better way to celebrate than spending the morning in a school as a Humanist speaker. @humanists.uk

#DarwinDayLecture @humanists.uk Perfect Friday night in with the pup.

HATE traditional research posters. Boring, inaccessible and anything but engaging. Here is my attempt at an alternative. Exciting times ahead for teaching evolution in the UK. 🧬

Finally! After YEARS of entering we finally got tickets to see the Infinite Monkey Cage. Yes I did have a nerd out.

This! This bundle of nonsense is the sole reason why I now know I can function on 6 hours sleep.
