Oops. In all the busy busy last week, I forgot to post here to the effect that we were exhibiting at the ASE Conference in Reading. Still, several of you worked it out, and stopped by our stand to say hello. It was lovely to meet so many SciCasters, and particularly gratifying to have our enthusiasm reflected back at us.

I rather lost count of the times when I was explaining the project to one teacher when another came up and gushed about how much their students had enjoyed it — excellent work, you lot. Your cheques are in the post, as they say.

We also had some excellent ad-hoc meetings, with everyone from the research councils folks two stands down, to SciCast alumnus Matthew Tosh (who now runs the BA’s network of after-school science clubs, henceforth known as ‘ToshClubs’), and Science Learning Centres people.

Speaking of whom: want to see our (in?)famous video skills CPD workshops in your local SLC? Pester them! We didn’t manage to make it happen when we last did a teachers’ workshop tour, but they’re sounding very positive on the concept now.

Right, back to inputting film submissions for me… more soon.
