For the past two and a half years, I have set people up on blind dates for The Posts weekly dating section Meet Market. As one might imagine, when people find out what I do, the questions come fast but at this point, they typically fall into one of two categories: Everyone wants to know whether A) Ive made any lasting love connections or B) have ever set up any dates that went horribly awry. My answer to both is: very rarely. I only need one hand to count the number of setups that have materialized into both parties continuing to date, and I only need the other to count the dating horror stories. A vast majority of the dates I have set up (close to 150) have ended in a weird gray area in which both parties really enjoyed themselves and one another but didnt think a second date was necessary, either because there werent any sparks or they werent instantly drawn to the other person. On one hand, I totally get it, just like I get why people pay the lottery we dont want to get rich so much as we want to get rich quickly. Its the … Continue reading →

Jacob Coles, Luke Brown and Ike Ndukwe THE North Somerset Enterprise and Technology College (NSETC) has teamed up with The Royal Society of Chemistry and Bristol University to give A-level chemistry students the chance to learn about spectroscopy. Spectroscopy is the study of the way light (electromagnetic radiation) and matter interact; the Royal Society of Chemistry's Spectroscopy in a Suitcase scheme is an outreach activity where university students deliver an exciting, hands-on session with an emphasis on encouraging students to consider chemistry at degree level and the career opportunities available. NSETC, based in Weston-super-Mare, is a 14-19 age group school with a Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) focused curriculum. Ike Ndukwe, a Bristol University post-graduate student who ran the session, said: "Spectroscopy is used to analyse compounds in chemistry, to determine what different elements make up something, and is also used in astronomy to get insight into the composition of astronomical bodies. "There are a number of different types of spectroscopic techniques and the basic principle shared by all is to shine a beam of a particular electromagnetic radiation onto a sample and observe how it responds to such a stimulus; allowing scientists to obtain information about the structure … Continue reading →

Sophie with Sara Ashby Sophie Hannah Talas was presented with the Royal Society of Chemistrys prize for securing the highest mark in this years Advanced Higher Chemistry in Scotland. She was joined for the prize-giving by her former chemistry teacher Sara Ashby. Sophies mum Gyrgyi said: Dr Ashby is a fantastic teacher and Peebles High School has a very strong and very supportive science department. Sophie, a first year medical student at Edinburgh University, received her award from MSP Alasdair Allan, minister for learning, science and Scotlands languages. The award ceremony took place as part of the Science and the Parliament event at Our Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh on November 12. The event has been a successful initiative that has run since shortly after the Scottish Parliament was established.
