Message from the
Editor-in-Chief
主編話語
Dear Readers,
Welcome back to the second issue of
Science Focus
.
In this issue, we have provided current, relevant and
well-researched articles which will hopefully stimulate your
scientific interest. Some of our articles are aligned with the
current DSE science curriculum, which teachers may find
useful for classroom instruction. In addition, I want to bring
special attention to the article,
Bee Pheromones
, which
was written by a group of secondary school students who
participated in the HKUST Dual Programme – well done.
I wish to take this opportunity to encourage proactive
participation from student readers who are interested
in science writing. Readers may recall that the Science
Focus Article Submission Competition was created in the
last issue. The competition is open to
Form 4 to Form 6
full-
time students and submissions related to any discipline
of science will be judged on originality, creativity and
rhetoric. The winning article will be published in the next
issue of
Science Focus
and the author will be awarded
an Apple iPad. The new deadline for the competition will
be in late August 2014. Student readers are also invited to
join our mailing list to enter a lucky draw for an Apple iPad
mini. Registration and more information can be found on
the
Science Focus
homepage.
I sincerely hope that you will enjoy this issue of
Science
Focus
and we welcome your suggestions
Prof. Yung Hou Wong
