I'm starting to look for a new place to live, and so I thought I'd do a little thread rather than just one tweet, as my situation is a bit unorthodox. I'm a single gay man, and have two gorgeous children, 8 and 5, who stay with me one night a week and every three weekends.

Very excited about our PRIMARY classroom research study! We need 12 teachers in England who will be teaching year 4 or 5 in the Spring Term, who are interested in helping to co-develop culturally relevant versions. We will do the hard lifting to adapt based on your ideas!

Looking forward to chatting about reviewing research papers with #CSEdRStudents this evening. Please DM Nicola Looker or I to be added to our group for the meetup! Institute for Advancing Computing Education, WiPSCE primary and secondary computing conference #RPFSeminars and others, please share ;)

So looking forward to Tuesday 7th Feb Dr. Jean Salac sharing her research on overcoming inequity in teaching programming.#RPFSeminars with Raspberry Pi Foundation Pls join us form.raspberrypi.org/f/research-sem… Free, of course!

Surplus in Higher Education this year is £2,600,000,000. The highest it has been for at least four years. Staff expenditure has hit a record low (51%). These two facts are directly linked. Our declining living standards are their multi-billion reserves. tinyurl.com/mr2n35yk

We have a research scientist vacancy in our computing education research team! If you know of anyone looking for this kind of role, please share! Very excited to be recruiting! apply.workable.com/raspberrypifou…

Seeing students continue to stand in solidarity with us is so touching ❤️ Taking action is always a last resort. We've been telling our employers about the crisis in higher education for years now. It's on UCEA to settle this dispute round the negotiating table. #ucuRISING
