Cambridge uni using Simpson's paradox to justify their admissions process: "Yes more applicants from independent schools got in, BUT LOOK we got more state school men AND more state school women in!!"
@JessicaIngrey visited today. Jess is just about to start at Cambridge to study Maths. She delivered an inspiring talk to students about applying to Oxbridge, then spoke to our girls about how they can succeed in these (currently) male dominated subjects. #oxbridge#aimhigh
I missed my Cambridge offer by one A Level grade (it had been downgraded). Luckily my college took me anyway. This could have easily been me and I would’ve been absolutely devastated. #HonourTheOffer#AlevelResults
“I wanted to make everyone that believed in me proud… I knew I could get those grades if I actually did the exams.”
Mithushan Thiagarajah had an offer to read medicine at Cambridge and was predicted 4 A*s. Today he was downgraded and the offer has been withdrawn.

This @CyberDiscUK blog post by @JessicaIngrey is a great exploration of what we can do to attract more girls into cybersecurity careers, touching on the damage of the negative hacker stereotype. Keep on hacking, Jess! 👩🏻💻
A consistent takeaway from @CyberDiscUK & @Cyberchallenge: teams that work well together are much more likely to thrive. A lesson we should all remember!
“it is so important to discuss and share ideas with others, and to combine skill sets if the task is extremely challenging “
And that's a wrap on the @Cyberchallenge #CyberCenturion qualifiers for this year! Really impressed with everyone's performance, and whatever happens, this has been a great experience. Thanks to @stephkayaks and the entire @Cyberchallenge team! Time for a well-earned rest...
Very proud of my team for cracking Challenge 10 of @Cipher_Master's National Cipher Challenge. Sure, they woke me up at 3am with the answer for Part B - but I can forgive them for their amazing effort and dedication they have shown throughout! 😁
Just finished round 2 of @Cyberchallenge #cybercenturion. We worked down to the last second, but it was worth it for the extra points! Now to collapse into a tired heap...
