Some science twitter highlights #1
I’ve found that I’ve learned a lot from twitter. It’s given a window into the lived experiences of others. And hopefully it’s gone the other way a little bit as well.
I see so many useful and/or interesting things on there, and so few of you are on there yourselves. Instead of saving them for recommended reads, here’s a new tack I’m trying out. Over the past few days, I’ve been bookmarking a few highlights to share with you here. And here they are.
When I first started teaching, I thought grades were the only way to get students to do their work. Turns out having a positive relationship with them works even better.

THIS IS the kind of Op-Ed we need in our lives. All future op-eds must involve kids pulling swords from lakes and getting ice-cream parties for their classrooms. https://t.co/4xNNQyJvlC

A reminder.
Students can receive excellent education.
Lecturers can provide excellent teaching.
Scientists can conduct excellent research.Without tuition fees.
Without REF.The marketisation of universities is a political choice.
A wrong choice.#EducationForAll pic.twitter.com/XHTwr1Zivu

We know active learning is more effective. How to spread it? Interventions have been SLOW. Cultural Evo theory can help us figure out most effective means of change. #CESConf2018 https://t.co/F1TRgRBhsj

There's lots of ugliness in the world right now, so I think it's important to share these photos of what happened when my friend Marvin called me & said: "I'm getting married & we can only invite 100 people. You didn't make the cut. But you can come if you come as a drunk clown." pic.twitter.com/IaEXvxBEgc
