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:

And here are the fun behind the scenes shots of the filming process!
Dr. P was featured on Ethiroli, a Current Affairs based programme under a local Tamil TV channel - Vasantham, where she shared about how black soldier flies could help tackle Singapore's food waste problem. Watch the full episode on meWATCH here. P.S: It's so exciting to see our research being shared in a different language! Awesome work, Dr. P!
Hint: It's in Dr. P's mother tongue!!
Update: Catch the interview here: Ethiroli Interview (Tamil w Eng Subs) Dr. P spoke to Rhianne Lovell-Boland from Money FM 89.3 this week and shared more about our Black Soldier Fly (BSF) research collaboration, explaining how Singapore could solve complex food waste problems with the help of insects like the BSFs. Thanks to Sustainable Singapore for featuring us! Listen to the podcast here.  *cross-posted from TEE lab* Our co-supervised PhD student was given the amazing opportunity to share about her research on Pulau Ubin. They even saw an Onthophagus dung beetle rolling dung during the shoot!  Reprolab's new research collaboration was featured in The Straits Times today! We are embarking on a new project to "develop a blueprint to integrate food waste management and sustainable food production" using the ubiquitous black soldier fly. This will be done together with researchers from the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and ETH Zurich.
