Life Sciences
From the Life Sciences to Social Media
Kong Man Jing (Life Sciences, 2017)
Co-Founder, Just Keep Thinking
As co-founder of the science and environment channel, Just Keep Thinking, Man Jing combines education and entertainment to create consumable, engaging content on various social media platforms. When not on camera, she is also a nature guide and conducts workshops on biodiversity and environmental issues.
From the Life Sciences to Social Media
Man Jing will share her experience as a Life Sciences student and how it has shaped her profession today. From working in various nature organisations, to becoming a science teacher and now a content creator in social media, she challenges the notion of choosing unconventional career pathways and how one can apply the skills learned regardless of which industry she is in. She will also provide insights on the transition from being a university student to a working professional and share advice on how to make the most of campus life.
Food Science and Technology
From Food Enthusiast to Food Safety Professional
Angela Li (Food Science and Technology, 2005)
Director, Research and Exposure Science Department,
National Centre for Food Science,
Singapore Food Agency
Angela’s work in applied research and collaboration includes anticipating food safety risks through early detection of food safety concerns and advancing emerging hazard testing capabilities. She also leads the risk-based market monitoring programme and harnesses data analytics to obtain pre-emptive insights on hazards in food, to proactively track food safety trends and anticipate new/emerging foodborne hazards and risks.
From Food Enthusiast to Food Safety Professional
Food is an essential part of our daily lives. Our food supply is sourced globally and will continue to face challenges such as disease outbreaks, urbanisation and the impacts of climate change. New solutions are needed for a more sustainable food system, both in Singapore and across the world. Even as we turn to technology and innovation to strengthen our food security, it is paramount to ensure that the food we eat is safe. Food safety and security are two sides of the same coin. We cannot achieve food security without ensuring food safety. This talk charts the story of how food science education can equip us to embark on an exciting and fulfilling journey to ensure public food safety.
