Those of you who live in Northern Ireland: I would love to hear your views on the Northern Ireland Curriculum to inform the review.

Please visit https://t.co/01TGo6niyV for more information. Thanks.

@Mr_Raichura A quick google search: https://t.co/VWYCwDMfy0

There is real joy in this class, and it seems a relaxed, stimulating but focussed environment and true autonomy for the pupils.

@Domsball @deptinfra @belfastcyclecam @CyclingUK_NI @SustransNI Seconded. Let’s see the equiv. video from Antrim Rd to city centre/Sth. Belfast. Far too dangerous. I’m a confident cyclist but gave up trying to cycle: too many near death experiences. Antrim Rd wide enough for protected cycle lane. Buses/trains **far** too expensive @deptinfra

@QuantMol @MichalTomza @UniWarszawski @CAMOP_UW @physics_UW Congrats @MichalTomza. Well deserved!

The latest @educationgovuk Initial Teacher Training census shows progress, with physics teacher recruitment rising from 17% in 2023 to 30% in 2024 of the government's target. However, we're still lagging behind biology (119%) and chemistry (62%).

With a shortage of 3,500 physics teachers, we urgently need a plan to recruit, retrain, and retain more specialists.

Further excellent @IOP_Ireland meetings with Executive Office ministers @aislingreillysf + @PamCameronDUP discussing the huge potential of physics in Northern Ireland, then education committee chair @NIACfEd @NickDMathison who agrees the need to look at physics teacher shortage

[Tom Grinyer @TomGrinyer]

An excellent start to the day at the @niassembly with education minister @paulgivan with the @IOP_Ireland team outlining the challenges of getting more kids to study physics and tackling the shortage of physics teachers. #IOPLimitLess

@938_MeV Thanks Sinéad @938_MeV !

[Dermot Green, ERC-AntiAtom @DermotGreen]

Delighted that my group’s fundamental research will continue via a new ERC Consolidator Grant award “ANTIMATTER”. Thanks to @ERC_Research, and those who spent time reviewing etc. @QUBelfast @QUBMathsPhys @IOP_Ireland

[European Research Council (ERC) @ERC_Research]

A very useful and productive day discussing & developing Northern Ireland strategy for physics (and science) with NI Education Minister, the Junior Ministers, and education committee, NI Chief Scientific & Tech Adviser etc. @IOP_Ireland @QUBelfast @PhysicsNews

[Tom Grinyer @TomGrinyer]

Half way through an excellent visit to Northern Ireland with @PhysicsNews. An early start for the IOP team at the @niassembly with a packed day of meetings

[Dermot Green, ERC-AntiAtom @DermotGreen]

@idamaho @ERC_Research @QUBelfast @QUBMathsPhys @IOP_Ireland Congrats to yourself. Hope to meet again soon

A new national network of total-body PET scanners will support researchers to detect and treat diseases earlier.

The first scanner was officially unveiled yesterday by Peter Kyle and Wes Streeting at St Thomas’ Hospital.

Today, @RoySocChem shared insights from a survey of 1,500 science teachers, revealing:
🧪 72% say the curriculum is 'overloaded'
🌍 29% believe it’s 'out of date/irrelevant'
📚 81% of students want more focus on climate change and sustainability

Together with @RoySocChem and @RoyalSocBio, we’re calling for a science curriculum that inspires students, reflects today’s science, and prepares them for STEM careers.

@idamaho I am involved in the work, though they have done the hard work on coupled cluster so far. It’s computationally challenging (understatement). I hope to visit NTNU in near future (2025) to take it up. I’ll liaise with you too before I make any plans!
