I’m hiding from others’ big reads on @ESA_Webb @NASAWebb. Feelings of inadequacy ahead of my own online and radio offerings next week would only send me into a black hole. But when @alexwitze’s name in on the article, you know you’ve got to read it. https://t.co/DWS5Bni5CB

We also run fantastic research projects in STEM together - for example both schools worked using a scanning electron microscope we borrowed from the Natural History Museum and will report their findings at the STEM Research Conference later this month.

Our partnership with The John Wallis Academy is stronger than ever. Our pupils thoroughly enjoy taking part in the mentoring programme we run with the school, this is alongside our successful Combined Cadet Force and careers-focused evenings.
