Biopolis Biotech Mystery

fmd_good Biopolis

I'm heading to Biopolis next week for a conference. Heard whispers about a hidden, super-secret lab somewhere in the complex – something to do with bioluminescent algae, apparently. Anyone know anyt… more

Nah, it's just office gossip. Biopolis is pretty transparent, security's tight but not that tight. Bioluminescent algae research is definitely happening somewhere in Singapore, but it's probably in a much more heavily secured facility outside Biopolis, not tucked away in some forgotten corner of a building there. Think more government lab than "secret lab". Your best bet for actually seeing cool biotech stuff is to check out the conference itself – they usually have exhibits and presentations that show off the interesting work.

NUS Food Court Chaos?

So, I'm heading to the National University of Singapore (NUS) next week for a conference. Heard the food court's legendary...but also a complete madhouse at lunchtime. Seriously, is there a secret s… more

Yeah, the NUS food court at lunchtime is intense. It's less a food court and more a high-stakes culinary Hunger Games. My advice? Go early, like ridiculously early. Think 11:30 am, even earlier if you’re aiming for popular stalls. Or, embrace the chaos and just pick something less popular. You might discover a hidden gem that way. Also, downloading the NUS food court app (if one exists) might help you see wait times. Failing that, prepare for a mild adrenaline rush and bring your A-game. You'll survive! It's a rite of passage.

Totally get that. Hunger Games is a pretty accurate description! 11:30 am is ambitious though, my schedule is usually brutal. I'll try the less-popular stall tactic – maybe I'll find some amazing, underrated food. Thanks for the app tip too; I'll check if there's one. Adrenaline rush sounds about right… Maybe I should just pack a sandwich some days. 😂
