And we're off! #UCLChemAirPoll is off to the races with 250 students, 33 schools and 67 primary school classes scattered right across the London. First class to explain the ideas and to get our students to think about how to deliver a lesson in a primary school class.
Lesson plans are being constructed over the next ten days, and we'll be loading 700 diffusion tubes in the lab very very soon. #learning #publicengagement #CitizenScience #laughter #measurement #airpollution

Okay, I have gone through the over 65 submissions in my insert drawing here box and after much deliberation, have narrowed it down into two finalists. Laila's "everything is awesome" ribbon and Cara's "happy elephant".
I will turn one of them into a neon sign, mounted on either steel or plastic. Made out of tubes that cannot be bought. I have maxed out the brown in them... but they do have me wanting to make a small purple color pot- purple color bars are expensive.
tbh I actually want to just make the entire ribbon drawing including the brown scribbles and the "this one" -but that would be giant and need lots of transformers.
This is a tough choice. Both are so happy and joyful, and very makeable. I am curious what the folks on here think?

Great to see an idea from our paper put into practice! 💪
We argued that letters can turn public engagement with science from a one-way flow into a dialogue. Now SRM360 has launched its own Letters to the Editor forum.

[it was interesting to attend this comedy standup (sic) show at our local (wonderful) museum]
“A stand-up comedian walks into a national park… It sounds like it could be the setup for a joke, but in 2023, Ben Miller became the first comedian-in-residence at Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.
He met with park rangers and took in an active lava lake in Kīlauea’s Halemaʻumaʻu Crater. Out of that experience came a one-hour stand-up comedy show about volcanoes he’s taken on a tour around the world….”

I'm enjoying my creative writing but feel I have unfinished business in academia, so if anyone is interested in any of these
- new model for public engagement and science communication
- new research methodology
- new format for workshops
let me know.
(I also miss working in a team and working with students)
