Thank you to Prof. MA Wei—Associate Professor, School of Biological Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore—for the 30 March 2026 seminar, “From seed to funiculus: new perspectives on the gene regulation of seed oil biosynthesis and seed loading.” Inspiring insights and Q&A.

Students from the Department of Biology and Year 1 students of the Faculty of Science visited the Towngas farm “Farming for Charity” in Yuen Long on 7 March 2026. During this engaging hands-on field trip, they learned about seeding techniques, explored modern farming technologies, and harvested fresh luscious green vegetables that Towngas later donated to local elderly centres. The experience deepened the students’ appreciation for sustainable food production and community service, while they enjoyed a sunny, fun day outdoors.

On 28 March 2026, our students visited the Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences to enrich their public health knowledge and experience. They stepped back in time to 1894 to learn about the plague—its causes and how medical science tackled the crisis—discovered early vaccine production at the Old Bacteriological Institute, and examined concerns around more recent infectious diseases. An eye-opening visit with very positive feedback from students.
