Quotes for GYSS 2024 speakers and youth participants
Emphasising the importance of having a multidisciplinary approach to research and science, Professor Dame Sue Black, one of the world’s leading forensic scientists, said, “In the intricate tapestry of science and research, collaboration is the thread that weaves together diverse perspectives, forging a stronger and more vibrant fabric of innovation. It is through the convergence of ideas from different fields and cultures that we unlock the full potential of human ingenuity, turning complex ideas into groundbreaking solutions. Collaborative efforts in research not only accelerate progress but also build bridges, fostering a global community united in the pursuit of knowledge and the betterment of humanity.”
Recipient of the 2022 Millennium Technology Prize and first time speaker at the GYSS, Professor Martin Green, said, “Events like GYSS can help give direction to young people early in their career – ideas of what they can, or explore further what they want to, do. Here, they can meet and talk to people like myself who have been in their shoes. In my career, much communication has been with other researchers and institutions; it is important to maintain these links and keep them alive. Communication and collaboration are essential elements to be successful in research and any careers in science and technology.”
First time participant at the GYSS Ms Tan E-Jie, 16, a Physics student from NUS High School of Mathematics and Science, said, “As someone just beginning my research career, I hope to learn more about the aspirations and goals of researchers through meeting high-profile scientists, many of whom I’ve looked up to for a long time. In addition, the panel talks provided at GYSS are an invaluable opportunity to connect with knowledgeable scientists and relate my work to theirs. Lastly, I hope to meet more like-minded peers at the summit and make meaningful connections that last.”
Aleksandar Kondinski, 34, who is one of 115 young scientists presenting his research at the Poster session said, “Attending GYSS is a unique opportunity to gain insights from some of the most influential scientists and engineers in the world. As a researcher working on an NRF-supported project overarching chemistry and Artificial Intelligence for decarbonisation, I am eager to discuss my work, hoping to explore new progressive ideas and future collaborative possibilities. The GYSS brings many talented Singaporean and international young researchers together, enabling me to engage, learn from them and expand my professional network.”
