Association for Science Education conference

First day at conference. Two interesting talks so far today.
One on cheap Physics demonstrations using everyday items and a CLEAPPS demonstration of microscale chemistry experiments (including drop chemistry) which we may be able to adapt for outreach activities.
The afternoon had a couple of interesting talks on science in primary schools.
Dinner with theInternational delegates in the evening at Victoria Gallery & Museum. Impressively, there were delegates who had travelled from Hong Kong & Shanghai to attend the ASE conference.
The meal was very good and there were several speeches including one from the Mayor of Liverpool.
Walked back to hotel in the gales (very nearly blown back towards the university...).
