In a very rare post from me, I share a photograph of the Memorial to Princess Charlotte in St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle. Absolutely stunning and I didn’t know it was there. You’re welcome… #sculpture

How ace is this?!! My fantastically talented daughter, Isobel, leading Primary School age singers at the Tewkesbury Abby Singing Schools event at Tewkesbury Abbey 😀

Had the pleasure of meeting Hannah and Margarita from ⁦@TokamakEnergy⁩ today during the ⁦@UKAEAofficial⁩ and ⁦@ogdentrust⁩ Fusion Teacher Conference and am delighted they have offered to speak with ⁦@KEVIGS⁩ students about where A level physics might lead.

[Sean Chesman @SeanChesman]

Just back home after a fantastic Fusion Teachers Conference and visit to the Culham Campus with ⁦@UKAEAofficial⁩ and ⁦@ogdentrust⁩ - and also this fanboy had chance to meet the brilliant James de Winter again (my second favourite Ogden Mentor after Helen 😉) 👍

[Sean Chesman @SeanChesman]

@CCS_PhizLab @UKAEAofficial @ogdentrust Absolutely fantastic visit! Ogden Trust again finding ways to recharge physics teachers’ [at this time of the year] depleted reserves of energy and enthusiasm and remind us of the passion we have for the subject and the difference our students will be able to make in the world!

@HelpfromHobson Me! 👍😂

@Counsell_C @FloodSkinner @SteveBraceGeog In @KEVIGS first full term of drone photogrammetry at @LincsWildlife Gibraltar Point as part of our @royalsociety research project we have already documented noticeable changes to the coastal geomorphology after just a few weeks: interested in seeing how it looks in September👍

[Sean Chesman @SeanChesman]

@HavelockScience @MrC_Chem We’ll done! You need to invite us next year! 👍

Disappointed to bite down on this foreign object whilst enjoying pudding this evening. What does your food safety policy/procedure say we have to do now to address this ⁦@AldiUK⁩ #@AldiUk ?

[Sean Chesman @SeanChesman]

@Teacherglitter Have you heard of @ogdentrust ?

Ikigai (生き甲斐) is a Japanese concept referring to something that gives a person a sense of purpose, a reason for living.

Japanese have basically a word for any concept that in other languages require lots of words (except German, obviously).

The term compounds two Japanese words: iki [生き, meaning 'life; alive'] and kai (甲斐, meaning '(an) effect; (a) result; (a) fruit; (a) worth; (a) use; (a) benefit].

Interestingly, Ikigai has been the subject of many interdisciplnary studies.

According to a study by Michiko Kumano, feeling ikigai usually means the feeling of accomplishment and fulfillment that follows when people pursue their passions.

National Geographic reporter Dan Buettner suggested ikigai may be one of the reasons for the longevity of the people of Okinawa.

Studies have even shown that people who do not feel ikigai are more likely to experience cardiovascular diseases.

@Pops__o *GCSE Astronomy… duh!

[Sean Chesman @SeanChesman]

@Pops__o Excellent! I’m a Physics teacher and have started a couple of Astronomy clubs at schools. I’m just getting into introducing some GCSE Physics at my school now. There are lots of great free resources out there - give me a shout if he’s looking for something 👍
