@observeruk website appears to still be on last Sunday?

@GilbankWill @PedalPotential @Mattsautos83 @TLC_LiveTutors @highwaycycles @SaffronWaldenRT @knightfrank @lvycc1 Bravo Will! Rather you than me 😬

[Thomas W-P @TWPhere]

@RobinSGriffiths I see Olympic torch. You must look like an athlete...

[Thomas W-P @TWPhere]

@edmunds_dr They thought it was fair. "Not much electricity so I'm expecting savage capacitors question on p3" 😂

[Thomas W-P @TWPhere]

@DocWhalley @physicstp You know it 🚵‍♀️🚵‍♀️

[Thomas W-P @TWPhere]

@physicstp Sorry for the gratuitous cycling chat at the start but it *was* very exciting and I only bore you with it for a couple of minutes 😬

[Thomas W-P @TWPhere]

Just recorded another @physicstp podcast fuelled by the beer recommended to me by the Great @johanmuseeuw - never have there been so many outtakes 😬

[Thomas W-P @TWPhere]

@esther_haydock @BlastRuthTeach @legophysicsguy @physicstp @IOPTeaching @ChatPhysics @Hookean1 @benwford @PhysicsPartners Yes! A demo bench is a must! I do use gas occasionally and that's just a-level, definitely need some gas and water, but not lots.

[Thomas W-P @TWPhere]

@legophysicsguy @BlastRuthTeach @physicstp @IOPTeaching @ChatPhysics @Hookean1 @benwford @PhysicsPartners +1, but also really good large smart TV front and centre with enough space for derivations to be shown 😂, and videos, web cams...

[Thomas W-P @TWPhere]

@BlastRuthTeach @legophysicsguy @physicstp @IOPTeaching @ChatPhysics @Hookean1 @benwford @PhysicsPartners The things I miss most when a lab doesn't have them is a beam/solid hooks on the ceiling and significant overlaps on the benches so I can clamp things to them 😖. Other than that I'm a huge fan of electricity/water pods with movable benches.

[Thomas W-P @TWPhere]

@FairweatherD @ChatPhysics 100% yes, apart from being expected for CPAC in A-Levels in the UK I do: practical: inverse square law for sound, search coils, sig gen square wave with capacitor and resistor to confirm RC. Demo: magnet falling through coil, phase difference in magnetic induction...

[Thomas W-P @TWPhere]

@physicstp @charlesmtracy I enjy making all the podcasts and have learned so much from so many people - but this one stands out for me for making something that I was still a little hazy about (new Energy model) crystal clear. I look forward to hearing @charlesmtracy on KS4 Energy - we record on Weds 😃

[Thomas W-P @TWPhere]

@RobinSGriffiths 🤔

[Thomas W-P @TWPhere]

I am feeling more confident about the fightback if bots really are taking over the World, not @sogoodlord

[Thomas W-P @TWPhere]

@Jo_Moore_Sci @physicstp Yes, finally better thanks (listen to me voice on that episode 🤧🤒) and skiing was best ever - very lucky

[Thomas W-P @TWPhere]

@Grooze9 @Hookean1 I really like this and will endeavour to give you a shout out in @ohysicstp later today - thank you for sharing

[Thomas W-P @TWPhere]

@WesleyMorganSHS @KentLGee I never remember the URL and always search up (with @duckduckgo of course) "virtual ripple tank", but here is a link https://t.co/YO0gEZZA8W It is AMAZING. But I love the demo by @WesleyMorganSHS - thank you!

[Thomas W-P @TWPhere]

@SciTweetcher Don't forget the simple things for physics like big enough overhangs on the benches to clamp things to, solid hooks in the ceiling/a beam. @physicstp did an episode on spending £50k https://t.co/zzluM5KJoI

[Thomas W-P @TWPhere]

@Mike_j_Costello @RevolutApp Me too, and we are not alone... Several people have posted on their community forum too 🙄

[Thomas W-P @TWPhere]

@ChristinaAstin @physicstp Doesn't Apollo fly behind it pushing it along?
