Michael Seery talks about being part of the chemistry education research community in the UK and Ireland

It would be hard to go to a meeting like the annual Variety in Chemistry Education conference and not feel a sense of community, a sense of shared interest. Educators from institutions across the UK and Ireland share their experiences of what they have tried in teaching chemistry – what went well, what didn’t go well. There are new ideas and innovative twists on old approaches. Every year I leave with a notepad full of ideas to explore in my classes.
