Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man, the Vitruvian Pulse project uses an @Arduino microcontroller and LED strips to create a visual model of the human circulatory system, showing the flow of oxygenated & deoxygenated blood.

My @Arduino weather station recorded 7 consecutive days above 30°C and 4 tropical nights where temperatures never fell below 20°C. Cooler Atlantic air has now arrived after UK's 2nd summer heatwave. Let's see how long it lasts! @bbcweather

AC to DC visualisation with a diode, capacitor and the @pascoscientific wireless voltage sensor. Lots of comparisons to be made with this stabiliser circuit and the moment of interia & flywheel.

Garden chimes and sound with @PASCOscientific Wireless Sound Sensors: students measure frequencies via waveforms or FFT. Beyond new tools, this is about rethinking science education, fostering curiosity and connections across disciplines.

This summer, I’ve monitored the UK’s heatwaves using the PASCO Wireless Weather Sensor - a compact & powerful tool packing a wide range of sensors into one device. So far, I've recorded 3 major heatwaves by July 18, and still counting!

Hoping for a holiday miracle.
Was out of work for some time here before Christmas. At a new job now but oh Lord the effects of that are rough.
If you are looking for arctic photography, please consider.
See quoted tweet. 💚
Hoping I can be out shooting again soon. I miss it.
I've added some more of my favorite images to the folder in the quoted tweet. 💚 drive.google.com/drive/folde…
Download and use for prints or backgrounds etc. (Non commercial)
And pay whatever you think they're worth here: buymeacoffee.com/angrytheinc… if you so please. 💚

The @IrishTimes came to talk to me about the 100th anniversary of the leaving cert, that we have coming up in 2025, our textbook and exam collection. @HazelMSMurray irishtimes.com/video/video/2…
British electrical energy generation from wind power has jumped above 50% as storm Darragh passes. My @arduino environmental monitor has recorded a related sudden drop in air pressure in the last 24 hours.

RIP Paul Stokstad. He was a faithful friend of the physics teaching community and fun to work for. He will be greatly missed. My condolences to his family and colleagues @pascoscientific. pasco.com/about-us/pasco-sto…
Discover the Doppler effect with @Arduino Science Kit R3! Learn how a car horn's pitch changes and understand the expanding universe. Use the function generator and Science Journal app to measure pitch changes of an oscillating loudspeaker.
