Kindness – Building a better chemistry culture

Thursday 21 May, 3.30 – 4.30pm

Kindness has an incredible impact, both when directed at others, and at ourselves. Making time to be kind can have a great positive effect on your well-being.

As part of Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re running a webinar on the science of kindness on Thursday 21 May. Speakers include Zoe Ayres, winner of the audience participation prize in the RSC’s 2020 twitter poster competition, for her poster on mental health in your PhD.

Support for primary science teachers

Each week, we’ve been highlighting resources around a particular theme to help you support primary students learning from home. Topics so far have included colour, materials and space. We’re also running weekly events online to support primary teachers with remote teaching.

Our ideas are easy to use, will help you to continue to engage students’ curiosity with science even while schools are closed, and you can now find them all in one place.
