£5000? Thanks. You're Wellcome.
Thanks to the Wellcome Trust for their £5000 towards our our educational efforts as part of their Darwin's Children initiative. Building a pretty ship to celebrate Darwin's 200th is only partly the point of the Beagle Project, it's what we do with it that matters. Wellcome is interested in continuing professional development for science teachers, and the money is to help us develop ideas in this area from our work aboard and ashore. The ideas will be presented at a conference in October when the best will be selected, as is only natural. So thanks to Wellcome.

Science teacher development is an excellent aim. One of my geography teachers at school had spent time living in a village in Malawi. He often referred to his experiences there in his lessons.
Science teachers who have spent time aboard ship actually doing science are bound to be more interesting to pupils.
