Science Made Simple

For any teachers interested in learning more about adopted and care experienced young people, here is a new course from Adoption UK. ~~~>>>>

Part 2 of our film studio renovation series is up! We are turning one of our dusty old store rooms, which was full of random old science demo equipment, into a shiny new filming studio! 🎥 🎥 This week we have been clearing out the store room ready to paint and decorate. Do you recognise any of the demo kit we found? Follow along as we renovate it! Wendy Sadler MBE Rachel Mason David Price Becky Holmes 🎥🎤 Ruth Perkins Gethin Spiller Hannah Lister Dan Reed

Had a great time presenting my PhD topic poster: “Developing retrofit solutions to address energy inefficiency and improve health and well-being in UK adaptive reuse (change of use) dwellings.” at the ERBE CDT Annual Colloquium at UCL, London. The pre-event training by Science Made Simple provided practical tips on presentation skills, making it a valuable experience. Grateful for the support from the ERBE CDT Management team and the chance to connect with experts from both industry and academia. Looking forward to applying the feedback and insights gained! #PhD #ERBECDT #EnergyResearch UCL Energy Institute

How can countries foster #publicengagement frameworks? A new report indicates that clear policies, incentives, institutional support & training are key to embedding public engagement in #research and #innovation systems. The report presents success factors, inspiring examples and outcomes from discussions between country representatives, PE experts and European Commission officers in the #MutualLearningExercise on Public Engagement in R&I. Big thanks to main author Marzia Mazzonetto and fellow experts Angela Simone and Mona Roman!

Such a great testimonial from George Dawes who attended one of our training sessions this week! Good luck with all your future presentations George!

Becky travelled to London today, to attend the Partners' Networking Meeting hosted by the Jack Petchey Foundation. It was really great to meet so many people doing quality work with young people and so good to put faces to names. We are just starting our second year working with the Jack Petchey Foundation to visit secondary schools across London and Essex with our interactive science shows. It was great to meet you all!

We are turning one of our dusty old store rooms, currently full of random old science demo equipment, into a shiny new filming studio! 🎥 🎥 We spend a lot of time training scientists on how to communicate their science to audiences and to the camera. With this new studio at our Cardiff University / Prifysgol Caerdydd office, we’ll have a great new space to play around and make lots more science content. Whilst also having a space and equipment that anyone can come and use, to bring their science to life. Follow along as we renovate it!

Having a brilliant day today training the apprentices and graduate programme early career staff at STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory exploring how to see the spectra of light! Wendy Sadler MBE Rachel Mason

Check out our highlight reel from performing last weekend at Swansea Science Festival! Always a great place to perform, this year Tess and Gethin did our "Bubbles and Balloons" and "It’s Only Water" show to sold out audiences! Thank you for having us back Swansea University and National Waterfront Museum! Music by Bensound

Watch this space for the full evaluation of this Co-creation project with our psychology partners on how curiosity is used to help teach STEM in Cardiff primary schools. Coming soon….
