We will discuss four conceptions of Entropy in a couple of BrainFood sessions, drawing upon the historical context from the book Warmth Disperses and Time Passes – The History of Heat by Hans Christian von Baeyer, especially from chapters 7,13 and 18. Examples will be provided that can feed into detailed discussions of how the Second Law helps us understand Nature. In the first session, combining Clausius and Boltzmann, we will examine the theoretical basis for levitation. All are welcome, although we will pitch the discussion at a level suitable for students with some interest in Thermodynamics. Come find out more with USP Director A/P Kang Hway Chuan! This event is part of the BrainFood reading initiative that students can explore in the USP Reading Room. |
2 events,Have you ever questioned the value of art? Ever wondered what made art "good" or "bad"? Ever looked at a Picasso so-called "painting" and thought, "Man, I could've done that when I was 5" Labelled "the world's first street art disaster movie", Exit Through the Gift Shop is an extraordinary documentary following Banksy, a notorious graffiti artist who has tagged everything from Disneyland to Israel's West Bank barrier. And like Banksy's politically-charged vandalism, the documentary asks questions that reach far and wide – albeit this time, he targets the world of the artist and satirically deconstructs it with clarity and – most importantly! – hilarity. Conversations@8 is a series of informal gatherings of USP alumni and students. In this session, USP alumni, Marvin Kang and Low Yee Loong will share on their initiatives at The Apprenticeship Collective (TAC). TAC volunteers work with schools in Singapore to create opportunities that allow students to learn the basics of particular professions from volunteer mentors (with day jobs!) who are currently working in the field. They help students explore and investigate different futures, different paths - to discover and define their purpose, passions and interests. Maybe you 'd like to volunteer as a mentor or as a coordinator? Or perhaps you'd like to chat and see if there's anything you'd like to do. Join us for the evening and find out where you can fit in! |

Sciences Po is France’s leading university in the social sciences and has been educating decision-makers in the public and private sectors for the past 140 years. As one of USP’s Student Exchange Programme (SEP) partner universities, USP students have the opportunity to spend a semester or year at Sciences Po’s Le Havre campus. Ms Laurence Souloumiac, Director of Sciences Po’s Centre for Asia, the Pacific, Africa and the Middle East (APAMO), will provide an overview of Sciences Po and help answer questions from students considering Sciences Po as an exchange destination. The sharing session is particularly useful to 1st and 2nd year students currently exploring their SEP options. |
