SINGAPORE: Bay Song Lin is an artist whose subjects are somewhat unusual. Her work does not capture scenic landscapes, beautiful views or lovely sunsets. Instead, she works with the body parts of the dead. “The faces will affect me more, especially if the eyes are open,” said Song Lin as she guided CNA through the only Anatomy Museum in Singapore. The 5,520 sq ft museum in the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine holds around 400 body parts displayed in clear acrylic jars. Since 1983, this is where aspiring doctors have come to learn the workings of the human body. Samples of every body part are stored here, kept in pristine condition to help students understand textbook theories. “This is one whole body, dissected,” she said as she walked over to a row of rectangular plates. Gently lifting up one and placing it on a metal stand, she started to identify various parts in the greyish mass of the cross-section. “This one, that’s the lung over here. This one is the … [Read more...] about ‘Faces affect me more, especially if the eyes are open’: The woman who draws dead people for a living

SINGAPORE: When it comes to cybersecurity, humans are the weakest link. Attackers often leverage on this weakness to gain access to sensitive data, carry out scams and perform fraud. Living in Singapore, with our low crime, effective security and strong legal system, people are often fooled into thinking the same of the internet world. Or they adopt the “who would target me?” syndrome. But, the connected digital world means anonymous attackers can target anyone in the world. While the recent Singhealth breach made people aware of cybersecurity attacks, most still view cybersecurity as an organisational or state issue – not an individual one. However, cybersecurity is a personal issue. The cyber safety of organisations and a nation depends on individuals staying safe. Attackers will continue to create new forms of attack, which exploit new vulnerabilities. In the past, we feared the IloveYou virus, Conficker worm and Wannacry ransomware. Crypto-jacking malware (which is the … [Read more...] about Commentary: Seven habits of highly secure digital natives

Source: royyimzy/Adobe Stock Culture has been called “an amalgam of values, meanings, conventions and artifacts that constitute daily social realities” (Kitayama & Park, 2010). As a system of meaning and shared beliefs, culture provides a framework for our behavioral and affective norms. Countless studies in cultural psychology have examined the effect of culture on all aspects of our behavior, cognition , and emotion, delineating both differences and similarities across populations. More recently, findings in cultural neuroscience have outlined possible ways that the cultural scripts we learn during childhood and the cultural practices we observe as adults influence our brains. First, what is cultural neuroscience? As an interdisciplinary field of research, cultural neuroscience investigates the relationship between culture and the brain, particularly, the ways in which culture “both constructs and is constructed by the mind and its underlying brain pathways” … [Read more...] about How Culture Wires Our Brains

The University of Arizona divided up spring break into “reading days” — March 9-10, April 2, April 21 and May 6 — to reduce the amount of student travel that commonly defines a college spring break. Rather than taking a flight to Mexico or a road trip to California for a week, students can spend the day off, possibly relaxing or adventuring in the college town of Tucson. There are stunning locations on the outskirts of the city where one can spend time in nature and enjoy the sunny weather.
