The Young Scholar
Programme for Biology
(YSPB) is one of the popular events organized by the Department
of Biology, CUHK and the Science Education Section, EMB. YSPB aims
at providing summer learning opportunities to both secondary school
teachers and students to enhance their teaching and learning, as
well as to bridge the gap between the tertiary and the secondary
school sectors in biology education. This year, YSPB 2007 will be
held on 17th
to 19th July,
consisting of both seminars and laboratory workshop. The seminars
will be performed in the mornings at the Sir
Run Run Shaw Hall, CUHK,
providing updated information in three different exciting areas
in biological science: ¡§Biomedicine¡¨,
¡§Ecology and
Evolution¡¨, and ¡§Food
and Nutrition¡¨. The speakers will share knowledge
and experience with the audience, assisting them to develop scientific
thinking and skills in solving teaching and learning problems in
biology. In the afternoons, the laboratory workshop ¡§DNA
Identification of Shark Products in Trade¡¨
will be carried out at the Biology Department, introducing the recent
advance and applications of molecular biology in daily livings.
Training will be provided to teachers in the first day so that they
can teach their students in the following days of the workshop.
Both the teachers and students can together taste the real practice
of molecular biology and know how it can be applied to improve our
living quality.
I
would like to take this opportunity to invite you come and join
us and share our knowledge and happiness at the YSPB 2007. Hope
to see you there.
