You may have noticed the box on the cover of this issue. yes, I'd like you to take part in a very quick survey please. With the growth of social media and its developing use in education, Education in Chemistry needs to provide a service that's most useful to you and can help support your teaching.

On the topic of supporting your teaching, I recently spent the day at an interesting workshop about getting started in pedagogical research. A resonating message that I brought home, and a fundamental reason for carrying out research in chemistry education, is to find out the answers to two questions: 'how can I become a better teacher?' and 'how can my students be better learners?' I feel these questions are at the heart of the aims of Education in Chemistry.
