In this edition of Mind Science Centre\u2019s (MSC) key event \u2013 Tow Tiang Seng Distinguished Lecture Series, we were pleased to be able to hold a hybrid event to share wisdom about resilience in the autumn years of our lives and also, to commemorate the launch of our new initiative \u2018Dementia Asia\u2019 E-Portal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We were honoured to have Professor Wang Gungwu and Mr Abdullah Tarmugi as our keynote speakers on the key topic of \u2018Autumn\u2019. The two prominent figures have lived illustrious life and career. Their perspectives in life were, indeed, insightful words that point us towards how we can live our lives embodying an \u2018undefeated mind\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mind Science Centre have recognized that Mental health research is both science and humanities. Since the centre\u2019s emergence, we have actively explored the frontiers in basic science, epidemiology and clinical practice, in search of what constitutes mental resilience. This would not have been possible without our collaborators \u2013 research scientists, community partners, donors and volunteers, who are present, and across the Zoom webinar. The collective effort has led to our discovery of new knowledge and solutions that allow us to better manage the rising rate of dementia and depression, improve quality of life and reduce the disease burden on families and society.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The efforts have culminated in a milestone launch of a new e-portal, which will actively share information and research findings on dementia, not only in Singapore but in Asia and beyond. We would like to thank Professor Hong Hai for his philanthropic support to moot the Dementia Asia e-portal project.<\/span><\/p>\n

The signature event concluded with a great attendance of 102 onsite guests and a webinar audience of 153 on a Thursday afternoon.<\/span><\/p>\n

We would like to express our gratitude to Mr Tow Heng Tan and his family, for establishing the Tow Tiang Seng Distinguish Lecture series, in memory of his Father, to advance the knowledge and science of mental wellness.<\/span><\/p>\n
