I had the pleasure of witnessing the poster presentations from my last students at NTU. I am truly inspired by this remarkable cohort. These individuals represent the future of our field, and I am incredibly proud of their hard work and determination. Congratulations to all. #NTU
We had a great time @NTUBIOSCIENCES #nutgraduation today 🎉 . Congratulations to all Biosciences Graduates 🎓 class 2024. All the best with your next adventure.
TILT 5th GBL Symposium was a great opportunity to gather with all enthusiastic staff in using games. I had a chance to introduce the newly developed ‘DNA Detective’ game. It was lovely that colleagues from various disciplines participated actively in the game in locating primers.
Today I had a chance to present one of my recent initiatives in teaching at the L&T Symposium of SST at NTU. I explained how integrated game elements into interactive video benefits our students. A huge thanks to the organiser @michaelloughl73 and those who commented on the talk.
It's truly captivating to engage in scientific realms outside our expertise, especially when the topic points to public health issues like obesity. Exploring the personal and professional journeys of scientists during today's Inaugural Lecture @NTUBIOSCIENCES was truly enritching
At @NTUBIOSCIENCES today, the first group of undergraduate students I supervised showcased their research projects, demonstrating incredible enthusiasm and passion. I am immensely proud to work with such talented individuals. #NTU #Bioscences #UGprojects
