Max Planck FRS presented his theoretical derivation of his black-body radiation law today in 1900. This is now known as the Planck postulate. Learn more about his life and research in his biographical memoir https://t.co/Kss3hABjKl #Onthisday

Fantastic news @tinaoverton! Truly very well deserved recognition of your leadership in chemistry education! Many congratulations!

[Michael Grove @michaeljgrove]

Sounds intriguing. . .in a scary sort of way!!

Coming up with concrete actions #IMAKE2018. Sorry @michaeljgrove i may have stitched you up for some jobs....

Today in 1859, Charles Darwin's book 'On the Origin of Species' was first offered for sale, in London, England. The Royal Society is fortunate to have a first edition in our collection https://t.co/lb7LXoSvm8

Cecil Ewing of Drumcondra posed this in the late 1890s: "Find six unequal positive cube numbers such that the square of the sum of every five, added to the remaining one, shall be a rational square" https://t.co/9qpTd3jow8

@cdcsteele Does that involves taking the emergency acetates with you?!

[Michael Grove @michaeljgrove]

Likewise!

@cdcsteele Hope you are not still waiting!

@christianp @peterrowlett These could be quite interesting for use in mathematics support, particularly if you can transfer out.

@christianp @peterrowlett I think this looks like something that is made by https://t.co/4OrGox24UU They even have one called 'Blackboard": https://t.co/00gsvVvOug which looks like an excellent piece of kit and potentially good value too.

Today in 1922, the Nobel Committee announced that Albert Einstein had been awarded the Nobel Prize. He won the Prize "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect."

@DrJPritchard One of the things I have asked students to do as they complete a module is to write some advice for students taking the module the following year which is made available at the start. It forms a useful process all round, including for me as module lead.

[Michael Grove @michaeljgrove]

Just over a week remaining to submit proposals to @IMAmaths 2019 HE Teaching & Learning Workshop Series: https://t.co/T2v74uW652 Proposals specifically sought on themes of: Employability; Feedback; Programming and Coding; and, Alternative Assessment in the mathematical sciences.
