Embracing sustainability in everyday life

This Earth Month, students learned about food and textile sustainability through a visit to Google Asia-Pacific’s headquarters in Singapore and upcycling fabrics at a workshop held on campus. These NUSOne initiatives are the latest in a plethora of efforts that encourage the community to reduce waste, approach their consumption habits in a more sustainable and responsible manner, and embrace sustainability as a way of life.

Beyond bees and butterflies: Why S-E Asia must boost insect conservation

Beyond bees and butterflies: Why S-E Asia must boost insect conservation

Conservation efforts often focus on large mammals or birds, but insects are equally important for maintaining healthy ecosystems. Based on studies conducted by scientists including Dr Ong Xin Rui from the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum at NUS and the Tropical Ecology and Entomology Lab at NTU’s Asian School of the Environment, insect conservation remains under-represented in research, funding and public discourse. To protect the region’s biodiversity, the researchers are of the view that the focus must go beyond just charismatic animals.

We’re losing ground in the global fight against tuberculosis

We’re losing ground in the global fight against tuberculosis

Most of us are likely more concerned by diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and dementia, with few realising that tuberculosis (TB) has been the world’s deadliest infectious disease for decades. TB claims over 1 million lives every year, briefly surpassed only by COVID-19. As a result of global efforts, the number of deaths from TB has resumed its slow decline. Prof Hsu Li Yang, Vice-Dean (Global Health) from the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health at NUS, and Director of the Asia Centre for Health Security at the same school, remarks that the United States’ recent foreign aid cuts may now threaten to reverse close to three decades of gains.
