If I get time I might do some analysis of how many posts have been made with the #GEMConference2025 tag over the last few days on each of the main social platforms. My hunch: LinkedIn is most active, but it's still relatively quiet.

I've had lots of little conversations about #MathsInMuseums over the last 3 days at #GEMConference2025.
Next up is #MathsConf39 in October, where I'll be delivering a workshop on enriching maths lessons with history content.

One keynote in at #GEMConference2025 & we've already seen a theme that also echoed throughout #TMiP25: we (whether maths communicators or museum educators) are not neutral.

I'm interested to see which of the social platforms gets the most action on that hashtag.
(Anyone else on BSky who cares: pinning the "Museum Ed" feed would be good as it collects posts with that tag [& a handful of other related phrases] into one place).

UK museum education chat is thin on the ground here. I assumed everyone was still on 𝕏 so I logged in to check and... It appears to be dead over there too. Nobody's on Mastodon; LinkedIn has a *little* & I even checked thr***s so...
Where is everyone?

If you're on BlueSky and you're going to the @gem.org.uk conference next week (or just want to keep tabs on what people are posting about it), the Museum Ed feed is a good one to follow as I've just updated it to catch posts with the conference hashtag, #GEMConference2025

It's nearly conference time!
This time it's #gemconference2025 and I'll be interested to see if there's anyone other than me posting with that hashtag in the fediverse.
Shortly, I shall ablute, and then head off to Leeds. I've never been there before.
