Thank you to all the science #teachers & #technicians for your part in developing & supporting the biologists & plant scientists of the future. 💚
Today is the start of the next adventure... 🎒

I’m using money my biology department gave me for my 50th to go to Kew Gardens next week. Very excited - it’s my first time. Any advice? I want to see as many orders and families of plants as I can from as broad a coverage of the evolutionary tree of plants as possible. 🌳💚🌳

One for bringing conservation and biodiversity stories closer to home…
Looks like such a lovely book.
Definitely something I’ll be getting and look forward to reading. Looks like it’s got plants as well as animals - anything to whet the appetite @JHM_23 ?

Check out the new L3 qualification he's teaching from September
Check out the new L3 certificate in sustainability from @ocrexams. teach.ocr.org.uk/level-3-cer…
I’m developing the teaching resources for it for OCR and I’m teaching it at @HillsRoadNews in Sept 2025.
I love the spec they’ve come up with - such a useful qualification for students.

I'm recovering from a breakdown atm, haven't been able to earn much for 2-3 months but am trying to build my confidence back slowly.
I love teaching people to draw plants & birds & how creative activity alters brain biochemistry to improve mental health & I've taught @BBCCountryfile & at @V_and_A museum.
I've 3 beginners' w'shops you can enrol on if you'd like to learn something new & support me at the same time-discount code to say thankyou is THANKYOU15:
