Last week I was in Washington DC with New America to present on the work of my @LSXfellowship group. We’ve spent the last two years collaborating on a product to bring accessible and enjoyable math activities to parents and kids and got to showcase that at the #LSX2022 Summit

[New America Ed @NewAmericaEd]

"How can we turn our expertise into something that #parents can reach easily? That's how we got to fun and accessible instead of something that resembled school work."

#LSX2022 Fellows talking about their own "mathphobia" as kids and tackling it head-on. https://t.co/WgeEpGeHGZ

@DrMarkRoss I don’t even like seeing it again 😫😫

One minute to try to capture the @HeriotWattUni Orkney campus experience.

We teach 3 MSc degrees in Orkney focused on renewable energy and marine science, and what a place to do it 🤯 @ICITOrkney

@HeatherMcG_hwud I also took a really practical tip from your book - to have a one page CV. After reading, I reviewed my CV and by moving it to one page I took out so much that didn’t need to be there and have a much more professional CV as a result - thanks 🤩

🧮 How can I make #math fun in #PreK?

Last week, our @LSXfellowship researchers @GundersonLab, @jacktgraham, and @cat7mitchell shared with @foundry10Ed how to engage families in gamified #EarlyEd activities.

Our Senior Researcher @domgibs recently sat down with @NewAmericaEd Fellows @GundersonLab, @jacktgraham, and @cat7mitchell to talk about their @LSXfellowship and how to engage families in early math activities. See what they have to say here: https://t.co/ok78lQxFj4

[Dominic Gibson, PhD @domgibs]

I enjoyed asking @GundersonLab, @jacktgraham, and @cat7mitchell some questions about the work they are doing in their @LSXfellowship (along with @PujaBalachander and Jeff Kleeman) to engage families in early math activities.

@VonnSand @May_Bo62 @ScotFundCouncil We missed you!!

[Cathy Mitchell @cat7mitchell]

End of an era 🌟 @May_Bo62 is a legend and it was awesome to see the masses that came for her retirement night last night. @ScotFundCouncil won’t be the same!

[Alastair Sim @AlastairSimUS]

And a potential double-whammy for @uni_scot members: caught between @scotgov underfunding which makes international income essential, and UK Govt potentially restricting that.

Our @HeriotWattUni Sport and Exercise Science students had their last practical last week, and what a place to learn! Introducing recovery modalities with the expert help from @1987Gibbon and @Oriamscotland performance staff

[Cathy Mitchell @cat7mitchell]

@jmcgillivray38 It was! Let me know if you get there and I'll send some good tips 😀

[Cathy Mitchell @cat7mitchell]

Back to work after an amazing time in Peru. First real, no checking emails break in a long time and it’s done me so much good. Highly recommend!

[Mark Ross, Ph.D @DrMarkRoss]

Our first year students being introduced to athletic assessments as part of their Principles of Sport and Exercise Science course. Lots of active discussion around specificity and sensitivity of such assessments @HeriotWattUni #HWUSES @Oriamscotland @1987Gibbon

@MehdiNazarinia On day 3 back and still working my way through them!
