Click here for some fun sites that I use for ideas
Here are some of the scientific organisations I'm involved with.
RSC - This site has loads of resources, mostly for secondary and university students.
British Association for the Advancement of Science - This is a great organisation which runs Science and Engineering Week in March and a superb science festival in September. I chair the North West branch.
Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester - This terrific museum has loads of exhibits on masses of different science topics and run great exhibitions and workshops. I am on their Board of Trustees.
Annual Register - This gives a summary of all the important events of the year and has been published continuously since 1758. I write their science section.
North Wales Science Council - Techniquest, a great interactive science centre, is run by the North Wales Science Council, and I am one of the directors.
Chemicroc - To help primary students with their SATs
EPSRC - Much of the research which is done in chemistry in the UK is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. To make sure that the right projects are funded they have teams of people to assess and decide which are best. I am on the Public Engagement Peer Review College.
North West Science Alliance - This is a network that I chair, of people and groups who want to make science easy to understand and use.
Royal Institution of Great Britain - The Royal Institution organise public lectures for adults and children to help them to see what fun science is. I do schools lectures for them.
ASE - This site has lots of resources and ideas, particularly for teachers but also useful for students and their parents.
