So proud of @seanyapzs for successfully defending his PhD today! So many challenges dealing with fieldwork amidst travel restrictions plus sequencing & data delays but he managed to get quite a lot done. Congrats Dr Sean Yap! □□‍♀️ #proudsupervisor pic.twitter.com/QtiKNTi2Y7

Black soldier flies take the stage again

25/8/2022

Yesterday, Reprolab went down to the Singapore-ETH Centre (SEC) to support NP and our collaborators during the joint BSF seminar hosted by SEC. Together with Professor Stephen Cairns, Adrian Fuhrmann (who is also our PhD student), Dr. Moritz Gold and Niraly Mangal, they introduced the audiences to the scope and themes covered in this collaboration. The turnout was great!

They also shared how Black Soldier Flies can be used in food waste management and sustainable food production in urban systems, to support Singapore's 30-by-30 aspiration (i.e., meeting 30% of nutritional requirements domestically by 2030). Here are some snapshots of the event:
