ASM FELLOW SCIENCE FORUM

Last Thursday I managed to attend this forum at Dewan Senat UTM. This program is organized by Akademi Sains Malaysia (ASM) in conjuction with Minggu Sains Negara.

Some take home notes from this forum:

  1. As an academician, you need to be humble and be nice to everyone.
  2. Try to find travel grants whenever you want to attend conference overseas.
  3. Try to get international grant.
  4. Attend programs or activities organized by ASM. From there, you can create network with experts in this country.
  5. Aim for impact factor journal whenever you want to publish your scholarly works. It’s OK to fail, at least you learn from your mistakes.
  6. Teaching is your first priority. Always treat your students well.
  7. Work-life balance.
  8. Appreciate your family for their sacrifices.
  9. Take care of your health.
  10. Be happy with your work. Don’t put pressure on yourself.

p/s: Just submitted the form to be YSN-ASM affiliate. Please pray for me 😁

You can find more info about ASM from their website: https://www.akademisains.gov.my/what-we-do/

To be YSN-ASM affiliate, you must be nominated by YSN-ASM member. Website link for YSN-ASM: http://ysn-asm.org.my/new/index.html

Sharing experience: PRGS research proposal presentation

Remember that last Tuesday was the due date for PRGS proposal submission?? Guess what?! Pn Sapiah from RA Office emailed me on Thursday, and she had informed me that 1st round evaluation is on 28!

But fret not, I did prepare and present my project this morning. It’s just that the duration is sooo short. I need to be ready with the slides and read the proposal.. again..just to study before I go to the war room. Ahhh it felt like PhD viva for the second time. To add, there are 4 panel of reviewers in that war room!! I c.a.n.t t.h.i.n.k of anything. I sucked it in.

Thankfully, I managed to present it in 10 minutes.

So, the next evaluation, a 2nd round evaluation will be after Raya Haji. Pray for me, please…😭

Anyhow, here are some comments that I received from all panels:

  1. What is the contribution of fundamental research in this project?
  2. What makes the developed prototype different from existing product(s)?
  3. Change the word “hire” to “consultation fee” in budget.
  4. Executive summary should be polished. Make sure the developed prototype is the continuation from previous fundamental research.
  5. Be more specific when it comes to target consumers/users.
  6. Instructional design should be included in background of problem.
