Another said research in schools "will enhance closing the gap for students who find science inaccessible or think 'I can't do science'"

One teacher: "It got me excited about scientific research again, which after leaving uni & embarking on a teaching career, often gets lost"

We had an amazing day on Monday exploring, sharing and drawing ideas for bringing science research and learning together! Thank you everyone

[Young Scientists CPD @nextgen_sci]

Coming to the end of a fantastic productive day of ideas... Just a couple of final #CPD essentials for our amazing new friends & colleagues

[Young Scientists CPD @nextgen_sci]

The big question under discussion: how teachers can get research into their classrooms. @Merlin_Draws is capturing ideas, watch this space!

Hogarth's mural is also a #scied tool - widely believed it was used to teach diagnoses via the sick characters visiting Christ at Bethesda

Afternoon session in the great hall, painted by Hogarth - a modern, forward-looking institution for its time

@FrontYoungMinds @FulvioDAcquisto The young reviewers give feedback to the scientists, who incorporate it - vital for making research accessible to their young peers

@FrontYoungMinds Chief Editor @FulvioDAcquisto describes the process: approaching scientists to rewrite their papers in lay terms for young people to review

[Young Scientists CPD @nextgen_sci]

This afternoon, we're looking at @FrontYoungMinds and how it works - you can get our illustrated guide here: https://t.co/PJiRQR7Bq1

@Merlin_Draws @FrontYoungMinds @theASE @FulvioDAcquisto @EngageQM @QMUL And of course huge thanks to @Merlin_Draws for scribing!

[Young Scientists CPD @nextgen_sci]

@Merlin_Draws @FrontYoungMinds @theASE @FulvioDAcquisto @EngageQM @QMUL Thank you to all our scientists for the fascinating talks! We've sent them off in groups with teachers to discuss science in the classroom.

[Young Scientists CPD @nextgen_sci]

@Merlin_Draws @FrontYoungMinds @theASE @FulvioDAcquisto @EngageQM @QMUL More illustrated science talks

[Young Scientists CPD @nextgen_sci]

Our participating scientists gave us a 2-minute talk each on their work, illustrated live - high speed #scicomm!

[Young Scientists CPD @nextgen_sci]

Scientists/ teachers interacting live!@nextgen_sci @FrontYoungMinds @Merlin_Draws @EngageQM

[Young Scientists CPD @nextgen_sci]

We asked our participating teachers to 'translate' real scientific abstracts into language they could use in the classroom #CPD #scied

[Young Scientists CPD @nextgen_sci]

More live scribing from @Merlin_Draws - illustrating the challenges of turning science research into classroom inspiration

[Young Scientists CPD @nextgen_sci]

What matters when engaging young people? Live scribing of Shaun Reason's #scied #CPD keynote by @Merlin_Draws!
