Happening now from 13-14 Sept 2019 at one-north.
My colleagues and I took the opportunity to visit the exhibitions during lunch time today. I learnt about 3M’s solar films and retroreflection material, I^2R’s speech-to-text recognition app with code switching capabilities (i.e. the app is able to transcribe English-Chinese mixed sentences) and cell-based prawn meat from https://shiokmeats.com/, among other things.
There was also an informative booth on Project Wolbachia (where male aedes mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia bacteria are released into the wild to control the population). I learnt that they could separate the male from the females at the pupal stage because male pupals are larger and got to stick my hand in a box full of male Wolbachia-Aedes mosquitoes.
