CHAN Lai Ying Alex

2020 BSc graduate (Major in Ecology & Biodiversity)

2017 graduate of Associate Degree of Science in Environmental Studies from City University of Hong Kong

"HKU is where people try tirelessly to achieve expertise. There are many opportunities for undergraduates to explore and to learn. For me, engaging in the Summer Research Fellowship (SRF) was a fruitful experience to work hand-in-hand with academics and professionals to produce quality research. I was trained for field sampling, laboratory works and data analyzes. It was inspirational and fulfilling to complete a self-initiated project and contribute to the field I am most interested in – Molecular Ecology, with the invaluable support and assistance from my supervisor. From that, I am now determined to continue my journey in scientific research."

Tam, Josephine Suet Ying

BSc student (major in Food and Nutritional Science)

Higher Diploma in Nutrition and Food Management (2020) from HKU SPACE Po Leung Kuk Stanley Ho Community College

"I feel honoured to be a member of HKU Science. Here I not only can acquire solid knowledge, but also have the opportunities to try out new things and gain valuable experiences. I worked as an intern in my Year 3 summer in a nutrition consulting company, where I could apply my knowledge and enhance my understanding of nutrition-related health issues. I realised the responsibility of being a nutritionist and had a clearer picture about the health industry; for instance, I learnt that the common poor liver function among clients are indeed diet-induced, which should not be overlooked. Thus I was inspired to take a further step and apply my knowledge, to promote healthy diet among the society."
