You can find the fruit of my work aka my #PhD thesis on #GenRelEducation here. It’s #openaccess and for all teachers and instructors who wish to introduce their students to @AlbertEinstein‘s ideas of gravity, space, and time 🚀 https://t.co/6NQJ7AYtVi #iteachphysics#STEMedu
Putting Einstein first! My colleague David Blair @ScienceUWA explains why it’s so important to teach students our current best understanding of the universe and how his team #EinsteinFirst helps young minds learn a new common sense 🚀 via @ABCscience https://t.co/tcn3MM1k2t
Applications are open for @LIGO International Physics and Astronomy Program for Educators hosted @LIGOWA . Apply to be apart of an exciting week of science, fun activities for you classroom, and of course some delicious food with new friends #LIGOIPA20

New paper out @EducatePhysics & it’s #OpenAccess for all teachers who wish to bring @AlbertEinstein‘s ideas to the classroom: we identified relativistic concepts that often cause confusion & suggest ways to address these issues #GenRelEdu#iteachphysics

We’re approaching the end of the year and the #EinsteinFirst team @ScienceUWA just shared their latest newsletter to look back at this year’s events (mk) #GenRelEdu https://t.co/UbXIhrRphB
What challenges do students face when entering #astronomy? 🔭Through the notion of "reading the sky" Urban Eriksson @lunduniversity proposes a new framework to characterise learning astronomy. It's an interesting read and #openaccess via @PhysRevPE💫

Gerade angekommen: gehäkelte hyperbolische Flächen von @DainaTaimina - didaktisch wertvoll zur Visualisierung von gekrümmten Oberflächen, als Analogie zur gekrümmten Raumzeit der Allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie!
We just received these two crocheted hyperbolic planes from @DainaTaimina - great for teaching about curved surfaces (as a proxy for teaching about the curved spacetimes of general relativity)! Thanks! #GenRelEdu
The Einstein-First team @ScienceUWA just shared their first newsletter as part of the Einsteinian Physics Education Research (EPER) collaboration. Take a look & subscribe if you want to be in the loop about #GenRelEdu activities & job opportunities 🤓 (mk) https://t.co/UbvqSIEjQ6
