Can I lift a trolley using just two fingers? Of course I can 😊 #physicsbaby Made new atmospheric pressure mats demos. #sciencetechsRULE

Finally, got to see @drjohnodonoghue.bsky.social's talk in person @rsc.org His book Onscreen Chemistry: The Portrayal of Chemical Science in Film and TV is superb! Filled with so many nuggets of information I did not know. Bravissimo! Book signed 👍

Awesome talk from Dr Jess Wade!👏👏👏 youtu.be/iUjVnV5FsYo?...

#TECHOGNITION in full swing today! A great variety of CoM demos, balancing structures & challenges for the students! @techognition.bsky.social #techsrule Your chance to shine & show that you are the glue that holds everything together. 🧪

One more day for #TECHOGNITION Hooray👏 Just a small sample of what will be on display. Of course, Michael Faraday used similar toys to explain centre of gravity in some of his lectures ⚖️🥚@techognition.bsky.social

Practicing balancing sculptures & moments for next Thursday's #TECHOGNITION event! And YES, it even glows under UV light #FluorescenceFriday 🔦🏗️⚖️ 🧪 @techognition.bsky.social

Only 1 more week for #TECHOGNITION celebration day! 👍 #techsrule Preparing an extravaganza of centre of mass demos, moving balancing sculptures & moments contraptions. 😜 @techognition.bsky.social 🧪
