It was more of a focus group session rather than a conference. I was invited to participate in a focus group of scientists in Malaysia and Singapore where we discussed the phenomenon of “hype” in science.

I attended some sessions of Research Carnival 2022 held at UM Faculty of Medicine’s 3rd floor Auditorium. It’s about advanced tech, research, innovation, and entrepreneurship.

SingHealth and Duke-NUS delegate from Singapore came over to Faculty of Medicine at Universiti Malaya today. It was a full-day meeting where we presented what we’ve been doing in areas of digital health, medical humanities, and epidemiology.
