Twitter has been a great place to meet new like-minded people, strike up curious conversations with familiar strangers, and establish collaborations for well over a decade! But change is inevitable. I'll be moving to bluesky come 2025. Meet me there! debbyng.bsky.social

A few weeks ago, I met with Girl Scouts on their trip to @MontereyAq. We talked about the magical world just beneath the surface of our oceans, and how our fates are inextricably linked. I hope you’ll check out Our Oceans from @HGMedia, which is streaming now on @Netflix.

Wonderful news and an important gesture of humanitarianism toward our closest living relatives, who have contributed (not voluntarily) to the understanding and advancement of science and human health. science.org/content/article/… #bioethics

It's one thing to know about it, but quite something else to witness it! Look at how the mangrove trees tamper the storm waves!
This is actually why we plant mangroves tress 🌳 🏡 🌊

That's about as much Mandarin as I could muster. Thank you Nüyou Singapore for the opportunity to talk about our oceans, and to the team for getting me camera ready! Most of all, thanks for Faye for all the translation work!! instagram.com/reel/C_M6vpTuJ…

The best part about lab work is that it ends and you get to go outside in the sun and ride on a buggy with your samples in a foam box. It was so great to have Dr Desmond Chua with me in the BSL2 lab sharing his experience of having worked with COVID, Dengue, Zika.

#MarvellousMammals is still on the shelves at Books @Kinokuniya at Ngee Ann City! It's been well over two years and I couldn't be more grateful. Look for us in THIS section! (Though I secretly wish we were in the Picture Book section next to Shel Silverstein's The Giving Tree)

Mangrove planting world records might look good on paper, but often do not work. Fantastic article from @james_kairo, Chief Scientist of @KmfriResearch nation.africa/kenya/health/n… Let’s have a world record for % survived, not number planted!

When we stooped down to peer at the tiny Big-eyed litter frog, we looked under the canopy and found this stick insect Necroscia punctata! What a beauty!

What a cute Big-eyed litter frog. The name leaves little for the imagination. Look at it's cute pudgy nose. #amphibian

Singapore is home to a #snail found no where else in the world. YES! Green tree snails are #endemic to the tropical #rainforests of #Singapore. They are threatened by pests and habitat loss. I've read about them but haven't seen one until tonight! How exhilarating!

A lovely story about the work of my friend and fellow @NUSCNCS colleague @kwaniefung ! Join her for a walk in Singapore forests as she unravels the language of Nature to learn how birds are shaping our forests through fruit and seed dispersal! str.sg/viz-seeds @audreytrp

Had a great time at Eton House today sharing about #marvellousmammals that live all around us! Here we demonstrate what powered flight could feel like for a bat - the sweating, the heat, the effort! 🦇

Heartbroken by the news of Frans de Waal's untimely passing. One of my favourite authors, de Waal's rigorous and compelling science challenged our perception of human and animal intelligence. Encouraging humility and compassion in towards each other. improbable.com/2024/03/16/sa…

Three generations of stories from Kampung Nee Soon with writers from the National Heritage Board. It's so wonderful to hear different perspectives and experiences from the same space across time. 💕 ⌚ We are so lucky to all be sitting here together. Thank you @budak

Encountered this lovely pair of Oriental pied hornbills inspecting a potential new nesting hole. The female takes her time to check it out, once nesting begins she will seal herself in the tree hole for up to 90 days! And will depend on the me to feed her and the chicks!
