IMPLEMENTING BOTHEREDNESS with @hywelroberts.bsky.social

FREE webinar this Thu 12 March, 4.30-5.30pm

How do we move pupils from β€˜can’t be bothered’ to properly stuck in?

We’ll explore the pedagogy of botheredness – stories, stance & teaching that cultivates real investment in learning.

If you are a trainee Physics teacher or train teachers, this compendium of resources by Richard Brock is fantastic. Please share widely πŸ™‚

British chemist Dorothy Hodgkin in her laboratory in 1964. She is sitting at a wooden desk, wearing a blue cardigan and green skirt, resting her chin on her hand as she looks thoughtfully toward the camera. On the desk beside her sits a black and gold microscope and a glass display case containing a large, complex crystal structure model. To her left, bookshelves are packed with scientific texts, including a prominent red spine titled "Penicillin Crystal Structures." This image captures the Nobel Prize winner in the environment where she produced the world’s first 3D atomic maps of essential medicines like penicillin and insulin. The scene highlights her intense intellectual focus and the physical tools of her pioneering work in X-ray crystallography. Digital restoration and colorization by Seriously Scientific.

Remembering Dorothy Hodgkin on International Women's Day!

While Fleming found the mold, Hodgkin solved the 3D atomic puzzle of Penicillin.

Using X-ray crystallography, she mapped the molecule's structure, allowing it to be mass-produced and saving millions of lives! πŸ”¬πŸ—ΊοΈ

😞 the BBC reporters were doing a good job of putting across a reasoned argument, but I don’t think it will go down well either way.

You are in my list to see, very interested to hear about belonging for lots of reasons. I can’t remember what your competition is though! πŸ˜†

(Another great programme).

I have read the Wikipedia page and a review somewhere like the guardian - good enough for me. πŸ˜‚

We went to see Jason Stathem instead. Spoiler: he wins and kicks some bottoms.

Is Farhan Adam (head teacher of the year 2023) on social media somewhere? I heard him talk about 18 months ago and he was brilliant, I’d like to be able to hear pearls of wisdom from him at them moment.
