| Introduction | I am Malaysian and consider myself a chimera of sorts, formed by the fusion of a science background with journalism experience and sealed by passion for both. I started this blog as a challenge - to help unboggle the mind boggling facts about life sciences and biotechnology, initially for myself but hopefully for other folks too. Biotechnology has already been earmarked as the new growth engine for the country, yet many Malaysians are still clueless about it. The way I see it, there is only one way to go - to meet this head on and maybe together we can unboggle our minds. |
