Great @cogscisci.bsky.social conference today. Always interesting to hear how teachers are embedding cognitive science into the classroom. Amazing talks allround, including the awesome @chloebrunskill.bsky.social talking about our recent work on narratives and learning

Excited to be at @cogscisci.bsky.social conference again. If you’re around, please say hi!
@adamboxereducation.bsky.social kicked things off with a keynote reflecting on his journey into cognitive science (featuring less cursing and better PowerPoint skills than one might expect)

I’m a big proponent of Mixed Ability and spoke about teaching mixed ability in science on @cogscisci.bsky.social podcast a couple of years ago. It’s applicable to all subjects though. (I do concede at the end it’s very hard to do in Maths).
