If anyone is interested further in why I think that there are some things which we need to be a LOT more careful about promoting and encouraging, and why I think "everything is open to bad implementation" isn't a good argument, this may help: achemicalorthodoxy.co.uk/2020/02/20/shi…

On this day, 10 years ago, I founded La Salle Education. It has been an incredibly difficult but hugely rewarding decade in which an initial idea has grown into something wonderful. Here is a short thread on some of my reflections… and a rather big personal announcement.

To support you in getting ready for the upcoming year we’re making our TLAC Online modules on Classroom Culture (What To Do, Radar, Positive Framing, etc.) free to everyone this week. Scroll down in link to where you see “Free access: try it out." tlaconline.com/catalog

I am very fortunate! 😊 The SIAM/ASA J Uncertainty Quantification and SIAM Review have chosen my paper "On the Well-posedness of Bayesian Inverse Problems" for the SIGEST Award. Thus, an updated version of the article has just appeared in SIAM Review: epubs.siam.org/doi/10.1137/23…

ML-based science is facing a reproducibility crisis. We think clear reporting standards for researchers can help. Today, we're introducing REFORMS, a consensus-based checklist authored by 19 researchers across many disciplines. aisnakeoil.com/p/introducing-…

Ever wondered what my favourite number is? Well boy do I have a video for you…

He's a great guy, and well worth doing a #PhD in #MachineLearning and #pdes with!

This week I gave a presentation about flying and offsetting in academia for the Climate Action Research Institute Swansea University. Here's a short 🧵 of the main points...

This is a amazing opportunity! Highly recommended if you are passionate about sharing your love of #math!

I love my new school, especially the people I get to work with. If you’re a skilled maths teacher who is ambitious for their team, and would like to work in one of the most supportive and friendly schools in London, get in touch! tes.com/jobs/vacancy/s…

Super blog from Claire Stoneman. Techniques are tools. Alone, they don’t make a teacher better. Excellent CPD focuses on giving teachers a coherent *strategy* in how & when to deploy techniques. Teachers must understand the ‘why’.

It was a delight to visit The Totteridge Academy yesterday and to imbibe the atmosphere. Amazingly focused, purposeful and calm lessons, engaged students, and enthusiastic staff. Thanks for the warm welcome, and I look forward to incorporating some of what I learnt in the near future!

MATHS TEACHERS: If you’re seeking ways to add quirky ‘real world’ maths to lessons next year I’ve updated my blog index robeastaway.com/blog/blog-index . You can use it to find odd applications of (say) quadratic equations. It’s the sort of thing you might use as a lesson starter (1/3)

GENUINE fact (not a "bit"): The date is 5^2 / 3^2 / 45^2 It is probably the last time in your lifetime where all three numbers are square (the next one being 1/1/2116)
