On top of several keynote lectures and invited presentations from local and overseas institutions, 20 student presentations were submitted of which 8 were selected for the oral presentation competition (the rest were posters). Our final year life sciences student Liu Jian Xian Glen presented his project titled “The efficacy of neck cooling on cognitive performance in the heat: relationship between serum brain derived neurotrophic factor and memory”. He confidently delivered the oral presentation and did well in the Q&A thereafter. At the end of the symposium, the judges deliberated and awarded Glen with the first prize of $600 plus a certificate, presented to him by CEO of SSC Mr Lim Teck Yin.
