We have a session in our first year modelling module at @SHUMaths where we play around with nonsense formulae from news stories as a way of developing students’ critical thinking under the heading ‘Does my model make sense?’

Several have pointed this out to me. Ever the optimistic sort, I delved into it hoping it had some scientific merit
Nope. Utter boll**ks.
Let's take this apart step by step

Excited to announce that I’ve been awarded the Bell-Burnell graduate scholarship! I’m grateful beyond words, it’s a real privilege to be a part of this amazing fund.
A ten-year dream in the making - still doesn’t quite feel real!
Olivia struggled until her diagnoses for ADHD and dyslexia. But now she's using her past to fuel her own successes in nuclear #physics and to inspire others from similar backgrounds.

ALT The Bell Burnell Graduate Scholarship Fund: Olivia Tindle. "Before learning about the fund I knew I wanted to do a PhD, but given my disabilities and background I knew funding would be difficult to secure, so I felt pretty helpless. Reading the awardee interviews made things just click into place and provided me with the rope that would allow me to climb over this barrier."
What can a @Shuphysics lead to, you ask? Well… 😁😁😁 Congratulations Liv! 🥳🥳🥳

I've just hit publish on Vol 20 issue 1 of MSOR Connections, a special issue on 'Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic'. Lots of higher education teaching practice articles. This is the first of two special issues with papers from the CETL-MSOR Conference. journals.gre.ac.uk/index.php…

The Maths & Physics seminar series continued today with a talk from our very own @alexcorner about monoidal categories. Was really nice to see a great turnout too (even if they’re all out of shot)!
After Easter, it’s Gavin Abernethy and then @davidoslive
