My STEM courses for Secondary School students have not been affected by COVID-19. Early in 2021, we completed another PGT Winter Program 2020 course titled ‘Applied Biochemistry I‘; and this course series was first offered five years ago in 2017.

Owing to the challenge of COVID-19 and although my PGT courses were conducted online for up to one year, I still wish my students to gain some relevant knowledge of biochemistry from the courses.

I am so excited to offer the course titled ‘Biochemistry and Diseases II’ for the Program of the Gifted and Talented (PGT) during the summer. It was a three-day weekend online course (between 15 and 29 August) with a morning and an afternoon session each day.
