An essay competition is being held under the "Science in the Public Service" Campaign. To encourage more students and the public to write during the summer holiday, the submission deadline has been extended to 30 September 2006. You are invited to join. Apart from prizes, winners may be invited to have lunch with renowned scientists.
The Symposium held in late April was well-received by a packed audience at the Science Museum. The Symposium was co-organized with the Hong Kong Institution of Science. Altogether fifteen colleagues from various government departments presented their scientific work. The audience was also enthusiastic in raising questions during the Q&A sessions. Full papers from presenters and photos taken from the day can be found in the Campaign webpage.
From 16 April, a programme called "A New Scientific Hong Kong" is on air every Sunday night from 8:30-9:00 on RTHK Radio 1. The programme consists of more than 10 episodes, with the scientific work of various departments introduced in the form of a radio drama. As civil service colleagues recount their personal stories in their scientific pursuits, the programme has proved lively and easy to listen. If you have missed the programme, you can visit the RTHK archive or the Campaign webpage for a replay.
Details of the Campaign activities can be found at http://www.science.gov.hk.
