📌Today was our fourth, and final session of the workshop series.

Today's session focused on the sharing and experiences of our participants of their individual outreach efforts. There were such diverse areas of outreach - from shrimp biosafety, diabetes and Parkinson's disease awareness, to improving knowledge and practices surrounding plastic use and its impact on climate change.

Each sharing session was followed up with feedback from our trainer, Ts. Dr. Mahaletchumy Arujanan, the facilitators and workshop participants🔬.

As today was the final session, we also collected feedback on the Science Communication Workshop. Some of the comments were:
* Inspirational
* All rounded workshop, that comprised both theoretical knowledge, and the opportunity to execute independent outreach efforts
* Wonderful peer support
* Emphasized the importance of communicating science to others who are not subject area specialists.

We thank all the participants and facilitators for the successful completion of this workshop!

A huge thank you also to the organizers, facilitators and participants of the initiative for the training, and the continual support given.

The second session of our Science Communication Workshop which was funded by the -SLP initiative and supported by Sunway University was centered around "Customizing Messages".

Who is the message for? Are the necessary gaps of knowledge communicated adequately? Does our effort to communicate science benefit the listener- be it a lay person , another researcher or policy makers?

¡Nuestro planeta nos necesita! 💪🏻🌎

Un día como hoy pero de 1961 el cosmonauta soviético Yuri Gagarin se convirtió en el primer ser humano en llegar al espacio exterior 👨🏼‍🚀. Vostok-1 fue la nave espacial que permitió a Gagarin completar una vuelta a la Tierra, este vuelo histórico duró 108 minutos.
🚀 Este hito tan importante para la humanidad se logró en el marco de la guerra fría, por lo que fue un logro para la URSS en la carrera espacial que sostenía la ex Unión Soviética con EE.UU.

Al regresar del espacio el cosmonauta Yuri Gagarin dio este importante mensaje: "Al orbitar la Tierra en la nave espacial 🚀, he visto lo hermoso que es nuestro planeta. Gente, preservemos e incrementemos esta belleza, no la destruyamos”. 🌎

La investigación es la búsqueda constante de nuevo conocimiento 🔎, en esencia todos nacemos con curiosidad científica, así que la siguiente vez que observes algo que llame tu atención abre bien los ojos 👀 y recuerda que según el bioquímico y premio Nobel, Albert Szent-Györgi "investigar es ver lo que todo el mundo ha visto y pensar lo que nadie más ha pensado". 👩🏻‍🔬
Feliz fin de semana querida
