Ìý
The document outlines the Global Hands-On Universe (GHOU) network, which connects over 20,000-40,000 teachers in over 100 nations. GHOU provides curriculum, activities, and teacher workshops that allow students to analyze real astronomical data using tools like robotic telescopes. Some accomplishments include activities being adopted into official curriculums in France and Bavaria. Future plans include expanding access to modeling instruction workshops, collaborating on new telescope projects, and using internet video conferences to reach more teachers globally.
This document summarizes the work of the NUCLIO project in Portugal between 2004-2008. It engaged over 3000 students through hands-on astronomy activities and trained over 100 teachers. The project collaborated with over 50 international partners and established a network of astronomy education across Europe and around the world. It provided opportunities for students and teachers to participate in real scientific research and discovery.

Global Hands-On Universe Conference 2015. 4-5 August 2015, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA.
Abstract:
We share an overview of Western Kentucky University's successful introduction of a hands-on high school astronomy course coordinated as a dual-credit course that earns university credit. This course, and many other education initiatives are made possible by the observing opportunities with our global network of robotic telescopes. One example is the collaboration with the International Astronomical Search Collaboration (IASC).
This document describes a presentation by Tim Slater on modern astronomy teaching. It outlines a continuum of teaching strategies ranging from boring lectures to active learning techniques. Slater discusses the effectiveness of different strategies like lectures, flipped classrooms, think-pair-share activities, and tutorial approaches. He emphasizes that students learn best when they are actively engaged in discussion and problem-solving rather than passively listening to lectures. The document also highlights strategies developed by Slater and his colleagues to scaffold students' learning of scientific inquiry using Hubble Space Telescope data.

Global Hands-On Universe Conference 2015. 4-5 August 2015, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA.
Abstract:
For more than 5 years GTTP has been implemented in Chile with a relevant number of teachers attending from different private and public schools nationwide. The tools taught have been useful to improve not only the level of understanding in Astronomy among school students, but also the relevance of Math use on it.
It is necessary to reinforce following up and gathering methodologies, thus teachers can be supervised on their improvements by one hand, and also they can share successes and good practices with teachers in Chile and other countries.
This document outlines a vision for astronomy education by the year 2020. It proposes that by 2020:
1) All young people will have contact with astronomy before the end of secondary school through national school curricula and informal learning spaces.
2) The astronomy education community will have facilitated the training of hundreds of thousands of teachers and inclusion of astronomy in the curriculum of dozens of countries using resources like an Astronomy Literacy document.
3) Hundreds of educational resources for teachers and children will be produced and distributed through open access platforms like astroEDU.

Blind spots in AI and Formulation Science, IFPAC 2025.pdfAjaz Hussain
Ìý
The intersection of AI and pharmaceutical formulation science highlights significant blind spots—systemic gaps in pharmaceutical development, regulatory oversight, quality assurance, and the ethical use of AI—that could jeopardize patient safety and undermine public trust. To move forward effectively, we must address these normalized blind spots, which may arise from outdated assumptions, errors, gaps in previous knowledge, and biases in language or regulatory inertia. This is essential to ensure that AI and formulation science are developed as tools for patient-centered and ethical healthcare.

APM event hosted by the South Wales and West of England Network (SWWE Network)
Speaker: Aalok Sonawala
The SWWE Regional Network were very pleased to welcome Aalok Sonawala, Head of PMO, National Programmes, Rider Levett Bucknall on 26 February, to BAWA for our first face to face event of 2025. Aalok is a member of APM’s Thames Valley Regional Network and also speaks to members of APM’s PMO Interest Network, which aims to facilitate collaboration and learning, offer unbiased advice and guidance.
Tonight, Aalok planned to discuss the importance of a PMO within project-based organisations, the different types of PMO and their key elements, PMO governance and centres of excellence.
PMO’s within an organisation can be centralised, hub and spoke with a central PMO with satellite PMOs globally, or embedded within projects. The appropriate structure will be determined by the specific business needs of the organisation. The PMO sits above PM delivery and the supply chain delivery teams.

Blind Spots in AI and Formulation Science Knowledge Pyramid (Updated Perspect...Ajaz Hussain
Ìý
This presentation delves into the systemic blind spots within pharmaceutical science and regulatory systems, emphasizing the significance of "inactive ingredients" and their influence on therapeutic equivalence. These blind spots, indicative of normalized systemic failures, go beyond mere chance occurrences and are ingrained deeply enough to compromise decision-making processes and erode trust.
Historical instances like the 1938 FD&C Act and the Generic Drug Scandals underscore how crisis-triggered reforms often fail to address the fundamental issues, perpetuating inefficiencies and hazards.
The narrative advocates a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive, adaptable systems prioritizing continuous enhancement. Key hurdles involve challenging outdated assumptions regarding bioavailability, inadequately funded research ventures, and the impact of vague language in regulatory frameworks.
The rise of large language models (LLMs) presents promising solutions, albeit with accompanying risks necessitating thorough validation and seamless integration.
Tackling these blind spots demands a holistic approach, embracing adaptive learning and a steadfast commitment to self-improvement. By nurturing curiosity, refining regulatory terminology, and judiciously harnessing new technologies, the pharmaceutical sector can progress towards better public health service delivery and ensure the safety, efficacy, and real-world impact of drug products.
