HKU WISE screens 'PICTURE A SCIENTIST', a documentary chronicling the groundswell of researchers writing a new chapter for women scientists. The film provides new perspectives on how to make science itself more diverse, equitable, and open to all. Friday, Oct 23 @HKUniversity
PhD student @AA_Andersson getting some tree climbing practice in (and a much needed break from the thesis writing!). @HKUSBS @HKUniversity #dinglelab #womeninscience
On Friday, Oct 23 - we will be doing a free screening of the award winning documentary, PICTURE A SCIENTIST. Come celebrate women in science with us! Screening starts at 6:30pm (registration from 6pm). Sign up details coming soon!
New paper out led by Yvonne Yau, MPhil student in the Department of Earth Sciences at HKU, on the impacts of anthropogenic nitrogen on oceans. Great work! @yyyyvonne @hkuwise @hku_science
