    Hi Richard - I made it!! #asechat
    In reply to @ViciaScience, @theASE
  • ViciaScience Jan 9 @ 3:01 PM EST
    I hope that those not able to attend #ASEConf will be able to hear about conference highlights from those who attended, or followed #ASEChat
  • MrsDrSarah Jan 9 @ 3:01 PM EST
    I was gutted not to be able to get to Reading this year. #ASEConf #ASEChat

    Can I start by saying a huge thankyou to @theASE for a really fabulous #aseconf #asechat
    In reply to @theASE

    Hi! great to see you again last week , fired up by your research! #ASEChat

    Enjoyed reading tweets, but felt like I shouldn't/couldn't get involved in the discussion as I wasn't there. #ASEChat
    In reply to @ViciaScience, @theASE
  • ViciaScience Jan 9 @ 3:02 PM EST
    and @hrogerson could only be there on Saturday. What did you miss most? #ASEChat

  • NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jan 9 @ 3:02 PM EST
    always and open door, fine to get involved, social media helps you to feel included #aseconf #asechat

  • Glazgow Jan 9 @ 3:03 PM EST
    Agreed - was just down for the primary conference and it was excellent #asechat #aseconf
    In reply to @oboelizzy, @theASE
  • MrChurchTweets Jan 9 @ 3:03 PM EST
    My only nagging issue with #aseconf Reading is lack of wifi - hard to tweet realtime #ASEchat
  • gregtheseal Jan 9 @ 3:03 PM EST
    hear, hear #asechat
    In reply to @oboelizzy, @theASE
  • oboelizzy Jan 9 @ 3:03 PM EST
    I missed you both! #asechat
  • MrsDrSarah Jan 9 @ 3:04 PM EST
    True, but part of the reason I didn't come was to spend time w/family, so couldn't really spend it getting into tweets! #ASEChat
    In reply to @NeedhamL56
  • NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jan 9 @ 3:04 PM EST
    I didn’t try the ‘cloud’ was poor so used my 4G on my phone for most tweets. #ASEChat
    In reply to @MrChurchTweets
  • ViciaScience Jan 9 @ 3:05 PM EST
    Bonus was 4G compared to other venues. Managed UOR guest, but very patchy #ASEChat
    In reply to @MrChurchTweets
  • MrChurchTweets Jan 9 @ 3:05 PM EST
    Second that! A great vibe for primary. Passionate, inspiring and friendly community of professionals #asechat
    • Glazgow Jan 9 @ 3:03 PM EST
      Agreed - was just down for the primary conference and it was excellent #asechat #aseconf

  • SKLchem Jan 9 @ 3:05 PM EST
    #aseconf #asechat Love these - even more now I am more involved! Good way to cover diverse cpd needs - where else is there such variety!
  • Glazgow Jan 9 @ 3:05 PM EST
    Rather stupidly I've left all my conference notes at school - so thoughts and recollections will be off the top of my head! #asechat
  • NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jan 9 @ 3:05 PM EST
    ah! see what you mean about not getting involved now :) #ASEChat
    In reply to @MrsDrSarah

    I found 'the cloud' I think. WiFi is really important I reckon. Needs instructions in the delegate info. #asechat
    In reply to @MrChurchTweets
  • MrsDrSarah Jan 9 @ 3:06 PM EST
    I think the biggie is at #ASEConf you pick the sessions based on your/dept interest, not forced into school inset. #ASEChat
    In reply to @ViciaScience
  • hrogerson Jan 9 @ 3:07 PM EST
    I know what you mean, often when I tweet from a lecture I don't want to interact: I am busy! 😀 #asechat
    In reply to @MrsDrSarah, @ViciaScience, @theASE
  • ViciaScience Jan 9 @ 3:07 PM EST
    This needs noting for future events #ASEChat

  • ViciaScience Jan 9 @ 3:08 PM EST
    so for you, having a packed programme is a positive even if some things overlap? #ASEChat
    In reply to @MrsDrSarah
  • SKLchem Jan 9 @ 3:08 PM EST
    #aseconf #asechat Was my first step into presenting! Summary here https://t.co/E5UPNA7HTo thanks to those who came along & joined me!
  • MrsDrSarah Jan 9 @ 3:08 PM EST
    Also, being part of #ASEChat has made attending @theASE conferences infinitely better. One big (happy?) family!

  • MrChurchTweets Jan 9 @ 3:08 PM EST
    for sure! Was at one session with @NaomiHiscock and couldn't connect! Shame when tech impacts on a well planned session #asechat
    In reply to @hrogerson, @NaomiHiscock
  • MrsDrSarah Jan 9 @ 3:09 PM EST
    Absolutely. And having friends there mean that you can share notes/resources for clashing sessions. #ASEChat
    In reply to @ViciaScience
  • ViciaScience Jan 9 @ 3:09 PM EST
    Please make sure that you complete an expression of interest before May 2017 if you can present at #ASEConf 2018 #ASEChat
  • SKLchem Jan 9 @ 3:09 PM EST
    #aseconf #asechat shared the spoils from the exhibition at school today. Can't wait to try my biological molymod kit out!
  • Glazgow Jan 9 @ 3:10 PM EST
    you should definitely try - the best CPD you'll ever get involved it and so many inspirational people willing to chat #asechat
    In reply to @missaudsley
  • MrChurchTweets Jan 9 @ 3:10 PM EST
    Do it! It's amazing - get involved on #asechat too - loads of friendly people
  • MrsDrSarah Jan 9 @ 3:10 PM EST
    Had this discussion with my Form this morning - is it rude to tweet from talks? They though so! #ASEChat

    Yes, attending any PD on your own can be a bit daunting, great to bump into #asechat ters, more like minded people

    And an excellent session it was! Interesting discussions with some heads of science. Food for thought for 11-19 committee #ASEChat
    In reply to @SKLchem
  • doc_kristy Jan 9 @ 3:11 PM EST
    when does the form open? #asechat I have a couple of proposals for 2018

    My pennny's worth is that the handbook was much more organised this year, very easy to find events than previously! don't know why #ASEchat

    inconveniently people don't always look like their Twitter pic, you don't look remotely like a picture of an atom.. #asechat

    it was good, we could have done with an extra hour #asechat

    This used to be organised by Katherine for #ASEChat folk - maybe we need to resurrect it next time @ViciaScience

    any comments on social events for L'pool next year? #ASEChat
  • hrogerson Jan 9 @ 3:50 PM EST
    Did 'futures' run sessions too? ASTE/NAIGS have done excellent programmes in the past. #ASEChat
  • hecharden Jan 9 @ 3:50 PM EST
    And very interesting it was too! I was determined to get my money's worth out of Sat #asechat

      I always take a marker with me to do this on my conference badges. Definitely a good idea I think.

    #asechat with my current hat on-would like to see sci ed research much more in evidence in L'pool.

    Slightly off topic, but #TeachMeets could be good? Not always at conf, but in general. #asechat

    I would prefer it if attendees displayed more riotous behaviour at the informal dinner to avoid it becoming formal. #ASEChat
  • hrogerson Jan 9 @ 3:54 PM EST
    From POV of organiser of local conference need knowledge of who to ask/suggest to talk. More collaboration HQ-regions?. #asechat
