Educational Tour - NTU Bio-Science Lab

I am sorry for not updating this blog recently. I have obtained another book assignment with a short deadline. Suffice to say it was hell writing it and I have aged ten years.

 For my own career development and to provide better services, I have signed up a tour guide course, so posting will not be regular. But be assure, I will continue to post new, hard to find places as soon as I see them.

NTU is one of the top Government University in Singapore. The campus itself is largely opened to public, although not a tourist place, there are still several highlights that may interest visitors.

This include
1)  NTU Chinese Heritage -showcases migrants of Chinese and explores the philosophy of what makes a person a Chinese,
2)Nanyang Lake - a Historical site,
3) the different food in the different Halls Canteen and
4) inside access to the Bio-science labs where new frontiers in knowledge are being pursue.

In this visit, a NTU professor explains to the students on the world of microbiology, DNA sequencing and career path of a microbiology scientist.

After the 2 hour presentation, students are invited to visit the School of Bio science labs. One lab showcase the use of living organism to provide power while the other one showcase how microbiologists use the lab to investigate or analysis different life form.

This tour will be classified under Educational Tours.
