  2. Back in July last year, I attended a workshop on Decolonising the Physics curriculum at #UniversityOfSheffield .

    The recommendations from that workshop went to a report to the #IoP - and they're now public (along with a blog from the convener, Matt Mears) on the per-he website. per-he.org/from-cautious-ambit (link to Matt's blog that links in turn to the report)

    I am especially proud at getting "epistemic harm" into the report as a concept, as I think it's pretty core to thinking about this area.

    Two exams for me have passed and I've just got one last exam in my second year to complete.

    I decided to put a bit of time updating my second year grade calculator, to help me keep track of how I'm doing.

    Some of my cohort used the first year version I built last year.

    It features all sorts of witchcraft, conditional formatting, array formulas and update notifications
