Good luck to all my students getting their #ALevelResults today!! I hope that it all goes to plan, but if not, life may take a different path. Trust me, that path turned out to be pretty fun!! It will not define you!!

[Ms Wooldridge @mswooldridge]

We've now landed back in the UK!! I am just taking some time to reflect on the fantastic achievements of our 4 @ncs6th students! Working alongside other UK and Japanese students, conducting cutting edge research and presenting their findings to over 200 people!!! Well done 👏 !!

Jet lag is definitely setting in!!!

Almost home!!

Day 7 in Japan: It's a wrap on our time in @TohokuUniPR !! Next stop, Tokyo!

[Ms Wooldridge @mswooldridge]

Day 5 in Japan: I went to visit our 4 @ncs6th students completing their workshops in disaster planning, rice protein, nano-technologies and electrochemical engineering (or at least that's the best way I can describe it as a non-scientist!)

[Ms Wooldridge @mswooldridge]

Day 4 in Japan: The workshops get underway at @TohokuUniPR, home to such inventions as the USB stick and optical fibre. @ncs6th students also get the chance to share what our school is about!

Day 2 and 3 in Japan. Learning lots about the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster in Fukushima and Sendai. We then took a boat trip to see the beautiful Matsushima Bay!

[Ms Wooldridge @mswooldridge]

Day 1 in Japan. We met our Japanese counterparts and explored a traditional castle!

[Ms Wooldridge @mswooldridge]

And we're off! Japan, watch out, @ncs6th are on the way!!

[Ms Wooldridge @mswooldridge]

What a lovely weekend being prepped for our 10 days in Japan. A huge thank you to our hosts at Rikkyo School and Clifton Scientific Trust!!

Finally, in my run down of inspirational female mathematicians, Hypatia. Teacher, philosopher, mathematician and all-round 5th century badass (even driving her own chariot, which at the time was rather frowned upon)!!

Today's inspirational female mathematician is Florence N. David (named after Nightingale who was a friend of her parents). F.N.D aimed to become an actuary, at the time, firms only accepted men. She worked with Pearson on his correlation coefficient.

Ahead of next week's #internationalwomensday2018, I've been reflecting on women in Mathematics who have inspired me.

First up, Florence Nightingale on her pioneering work in Data Representation!

The lady with the l̶a̶m̶p̶ data!
