Thank you Carly and Bangkok Patana School and The ASE for the opportunity to demonstrate how eager and capable Year 1 children are of learning about photosynthesis at the molecular level. What a fantastic conference!!! This is what I live for🌿

It’s amazing how much children A) love learning about the atoms they’re made of and B) how capable they are of grasping this incredible concept. So great to work with Ian Stuart’s Atomic School and Bangkok Patana CPL who are leading the way

Hey teachers! It’s not too late to join us in Bangkok for an amazing science education conference. Ian Stuart’s Atomic School and I will show you how to breathe life into your lessons by including the atoms and molecules as early as Year 1, or even earlier. We can’t wait!

Nearly 10 years since I published this calculation and more than 230 years since Antoine Lavoisier realised 'respiration is a combustion' and most of the world is still basically clueless about how weight loss and fire really works. Our work is not yet done.

Planning out a bunch of and tutorials to get it all up to speed for the updated addon.

What would you like to see covered? Will have a few on the basics, but can expand into particular styles / techniques etc.

G-day Brady Johnston, Molecular Nodes is AMAZING! I am trying to display double bonds but no luck. Can you spot what I'm doing wrong here with vitamin A? Imported as PDB from Avogadro. Do I need another node? Any tips much appreciated 🙏

Fascinating new study about hyper-palatable foods and why we tend to overeat them with some surprising and important results on the protein front.

Amazing work by Dr Tera Fazzino and colleagues.

Excellent summary by Kevin Hall.

👏👏👏
