A helpful video for contextualising China and the Uyghurs. There's minimial editorialising but first lays out the reasons for why Turkic Separatists want independence and then why China's response has been so heavy handed. Perhaps an issue too important to not know the history on...

A fascinating insight into the real history behind the Roman Prefect who sentenced Jesus to death. The video covers his governorship and the factors that were at play behind his decision to sentenced Jesus that aren't covered in the Bible.

A video I made on the founder of the Hussite movement in the Middle Ages (and the one who predicted Luther and the Reformation 100 years beforehand?)

Lecture invitation - the Cosmic Chemistry Set
We are pleased to invite you to our lecture on ”The Cosmic Chemistry Set” by Dr Seyed Abdolreza Sadjadi - you will have a chance to learn how the matter that makes up both us and the rest of our universe was created and transformed through the awesome power of stars, nuclear processes and chemical reactions.
Dr Sadjadi will explain where the basic and tiny building blocks of most matter - atoms - come from, how we came to know how they exist, and how studying space helps us to understand the matter on earth, and also how our knowledge of chemistry on earth can help us understand the wider universe. Usually, chemistry is seen as a very practical and down-to-earth subject that deals with creating useful materials, drugs, foods, and metals. We hope this lecture allows our audience members to see the larger picture: through the investigation of material remnants of the big bang and early stars, we can look back in time and space.
This lecture will take place on the 27th on November at 12:00 PM UK time and will be presented in English with Arabic subtitles.
You can find out more information on our website.The event is free, but prior registration through Zoom is required (click)
With warm regards,Phoenix Space

REQUEST: Ways to assess outcomes of student learning
Hey all,
A group I work with is trying to devise methods of assessing student learning outcomes for a course we designed teaching high school students about synthetic biology. In addition to developing the course content, we want to collect metrics and data on the delivery and reception of the course. We propose to mainly use surveys for the students to fill out after the course has been completed.
Are there any quick-start tips or techniques you know of that would help us accomplish this? i.e., ways in which we can present questions/probe them to get a valid idea of their learning outcomes.
Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!

Is fake news actually false information? Because...
Hey guys, first post here. Apologies in advance if its in the wrong place. If it is any idea where this should go? Anyways I have an assignment about how the mainstream media lies to the public and misleads them. I have to base it off of this article from Infowars, https://www.infowars.com/posts/poll-39-per-cent-of-18-24-year-olds-now-identify-as-lgbtq/
Maybe I'm missing something, but how is this fake news? Honestly guys, I'm stuck like Chuck and ANY input would be valuable. Genuine thank you to those (if any) who help me!!
Thanks
