STMicroelectronics joined us once more for a sandy start to July at ๐—–๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ถ ๐—•๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต, where we met its intertidal residents up-close, learned about the importance of protecting our biodiversity, and put our newfound knowledge to use with a coastal clean-up session.

Donโ€™t worry, weโ€™ve all been there! ๐ŸฆŽUnfortunately, many animals featured in popular media donโ€™t live in Singapore, leading to many cases of ๐—บ๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ถ๐˜๐˜† on a daily basis ๐Ÿ˜ข.
