Nerdy mum who’d rather read than run. Humanist speaker. Death cleric level 7 (thanks for asking).
Very much recommend giving this a watch. Turi’s work is always of the highest standard.
The news is out! Really nice piece by Jack Blackburn of @Times about the genetic study been leading into Hitler’s DNA. It’s been a massive group effort as part of a documentary with the team Blink Films & a huge number of experts! We have to put the caveats in and the article does that nicely.

🧫 🔬 I’m excited to be running free Evoscope demos at the Winchester Science Centre Home Education Day on 5th December!

Can’t wait to meet home-educating families and explore how evolution unfolds in real time through hands-on experiments.

The 2025 Curriculum Review is great news for STEM

✅ Depth over breadth
✅ Hands-on science
✅ Digital literacy
✅ Equity & progression.

My FREE Evolution Project brings these STEM priorities to life through engaging, hands-on learning.

For years I pondered how to make a game about evolution, and my answer is Clades. Players match animals according to their positions on the evolutionary tree of life. Everyone plays at once so it’s fast. FWIW, I get royalties on this one. Kids love animals! #evolution

Oh no! We have tickets and are really looking forward to it. We can’t get to London easily living in deepest darkest Wiltshire, so a massive thank you for trying to ensure accessibility.

Excited to be presenting at the STEM Learning Primary Conference!
I’ll be sharing practical tips for teaching evolution in the classroom, plus giving attendees a chance to get hands-on with our Evoscope project, developed at the @milnerevolution.bsky.social

Busy day teaching evolution at the Natural History Museum (alongside a judgy fox)🦊 @milnerevolution.bsky.social

This is going to be an excellent talk. Can’t wait.
We're so, so excited to be having @chrisgpackham.bsky.social come visit us and give a public talk. Chris is one of the foremost science communicators in the country and his work has so many synergies with our aims. It promises to be a really engaging evening! 🤩

It's Evolution Fact Friday! Did you know that you can see evolution happening in real time? Our @bethmorillo-hall.bsky.social & @taylorlabgroup.bsky.social have developed #Evoscope, an education package for teachers to bring the process of evolution to life in real time!

A very cool laser harp demonstration at my monthly Cafe Scientifique. What a way to spend a Tuesday night!

Luckily you don’t. There is a link on the article that takes you to our website. You can read about it all there.

Thank you! It’s been a real team effort. I’m very lucky to have such amazing supervisors and lab group behind this. The content and activities are aimed at students aged 8-16. It may be a bit simplistic for years 12/13. Having said that, it would be great for those who may have misconceptions/gaps.

🚨 Are you ready for something awesome? Of course you are.
Something BIG is coming to schools… and it’s going to change everything.
Kids. Evolution. One day.
That’s all I’m saying… for now. 👀
