What are PER Nuggets?
PER-HE nuggets are brief articles published once a month. They can be used to share ideas, questions, recent findings, good practice, meeting summaries, and any other food for thought, on anything relevant to physics (and relevant cognate disciplines) in higher education. Browse the full archive!
How can I get involved?
If you’d like to make a contribution to the PER Nuggets collection, please email per-he@glasgow.ac.uk for more information on submission details. Early career and student contributions are particularly welcome. This initiative supports and values the diversity of our community, and contributions that reflect this diversity are strongly encouraged.
