Some days in teaching are pearls. Other days you're just dealing with irritants.

First online parents evening done in several years and it's safe to say I have not warmed to them. I want the buzz of the school, I want parents to chat to each other as well as me. I want to showcase all the school does, and I want to not rely on the whims of technology.

One of the perks of my kids being teenagers now is no longer having to skip tracks on my playlist. If I'm cleaning the oven I need Killing in the name energy.

My local bookshop owner is marrying the author she met through the bookshop this Saturday. Thus adding to my theory that my small town is a magical place.

Albert Michelson, pioneer of optical interferometry, was born #OTD in 1852. Michelson refined measurements of the speed of light, failed to find evidence of the aether, and developed a method that now underlies gravitational wave detection. 🧪 ⚛️ (1/n) Photo: “Practical Physics,” Millikan & Gale

New Christmas lights just went up in Clacton. (Farage is still the MP who makes most money from second jobs. By a long way.)

My favourite type of musical Christmas toy is the one whose batteries are running down. Witness my mother's dog, who sings 'I wish it could be Christmas every day' with all the pathos of a singer holding it all together as their life falls apart. #WishWeHadVideoOnHere

#ScotEduSky incredible post here on ASN in Scotland. Almost half my pupils have ASN. Seems like this is becoming the new normal. Class size reduction and proper support essential. ASN teachers have been put back in class where I am. Make it make sense.

My latest read. Thoroughly enjoyed this, discussing the progression of N, S, E, W from pure directions to embodying ideas. The final section on the moving blue dot really struck a chord, as I miss the days of physical maps, even as I enjoy exploring the world on Google Earth. #BookSky #Maps

Every year around now, I start to see grad students on social media bemoan that they’re going home for the holidays to a family that doesn’t understand their research, or what they do in general, and it breaks my heart. 🧵 🧪 #SciComm

Star gazers in ancient Mesopotamia focused on recurring stuff like planetary motion, but sometimes they wrote about meteors. Watching from Babylon, one wrote: “Night of the 7th, last part of the night, a meteor which was very bright in the middle of the sky” oracc.museum.upenn.edu//adsd/adart1...
