We physicsed the challenge #ipts23

Anton is giving a talk and there's a picture of some prat on the screen behind him (it's me) #ipts23

In the past it was considered normal to read out loud and really odd if someone read in their head. Now, it's considered normal to gesticulate while talking... I wonder if it will be considered normal to stand perfectly as still and rigid whilst talking in the future?

Glad I brought a few spare socks. The one time I choose not to bring an umbrella 😂 #ipts23

Me: "Why have you chosen chemistry rather than physics for your A Levels? You're an exceptional physicist." Student(s): "Just in case I decided to go into medicine. I want to keep my options open." So frustrating. As if Chemists would make better medics than Physicists 😔

Lovely to see Lewis Matheson - Physics Online again. A thoroughly decent chap indeed

I need to work on my maths - that took me too long #ipts23

Which do you most dislike smelling?

One day colloquial definitions will match physics definitions: correct definitions. But today is not that day 😔

Naked piano can mean only one of two things. Either I'm about to teach about the fundamental frequency of waves on strings... or it's piano tuning day!!!

When I was growing up, adverts led me to believe denture adhesive would play a far bigger role in my life than it actually does.

I watched the most spectacular show at the Edinburgh Fringe festival. 'Dune! The Musical'. I watched it a second time. The performer kindly agreed to do a special performance just to my students on this school trip. What an experience and what a great show! #edinburghfringe

Year 11s who are thinking of studying A-Level physics next year, or year 12s who found the transition to A-Level Physics difficult, I've recorded a complete GCSE to A-Level transition lesson. You can watch the entire thing here: youtu.be/bkvZ64E54Q0?si…

I don't like mnemonics. My brain always breaks them. "Spring forward, fall back" they say? So in Spring, does the clock get pushed forward an hour relative to us or do we skip forward an hour relative to the clock? Every year I have to think hard about this. Damned mnemonics.

In the last few weeks we've seen stunning performances of Les Mis and Phantom, but tonight we are going to be watching the greatest musical ever created. Dune: The Musical. I believe there are still tickets left for tonight and Sunday. breadandrosestheatre.co.uk/whats-on.html
