Organised by The Cinnamon Conversation and initiated by students, this is a series of informal and relaxed conversations over dinner, between a professor and four to six students on a topic that the professor is interested in. This week, we will have Prof Lim Chwee Teck with us. Prof Lim is a NUSS Professor at the Department of Biomedical Engineering, a Principal Investigator at the Mechanobiology Institute as well as a Faculty Fellow of the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research & Technology – learn more about him and his works here.

Organised by USP alum Alexius Yeo (Geography + USP, Class of 2010), Permaculture@USP is into its third round this semester. This unique programme in USP explores environmental issues through evening workshops, dumpster diving, forest school and even an overseas trip. If you have an insatiable curiosity for sustainable living, bio-mimicry, systems thinking, urban farming and anything green, drop by this info night to find out more about the programme. No pre-requisites for the programme except being (or have been) a USP student and a curious mind for nature.
