Starting today, as I now have more free time, I'm dedicating an hour each day to answering your physics questions. Whatever age you are, however profound or silly you think the question is, tweet me and I'll try to answer. It may not be immediate as I'll do them in one sitting.

The keynote speech by @helenczerski at #STEMScotland20 was unbelievably thought provoking and insightful. The Physicist's guide to living on Planet Earth. Wonderfully delivered and a strong message about working together to gain knowledge and solve problems. Thank you!

A key part of the STEM agenda is how we work with businesses. What can we learn about the way colleges are doing that?

Colleges have become part of their local communities. Long term relationship building has a huge benefit to lecturers and students.
