GET TO KNOW ME

One of the best things about being a science communicator is being able to unlock stories about incredible innovations and discoveries coming out of Asia.

I’d love to share with you a little about myself, and what my mission is.

MY MISSION

In 2018, I walked away from a tenure-track academic career in biomedical research and nearly a decade of training at Cambridge University and MIT, to pursue my calling to deliver social impact through science communication.

Today, I’m serving the STEM community as the founder & CEO of Wildtype Media Group, Asia’s leading STEM-focused media company, spanning digital, social, print and events.

At Asian Scientist Magazine, our North Star is to make Asian scientists household names.

I AM A KEYNOTE SPEAKER

I am a keynote speaker and professional moderator with experience moderating top industry panels and fireside chats.

I have run press conferences and industry panels for global brands such as P&G, AstraZeneca and Roche.

Notably, I moderated three panels in January 2020 at the World Economic Forum 50th Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, including the press conference on the COVID-19 outbreak.

AWARDS & MEDIA COVERAGE

I was featured in the Singapore Economic Development Board’s international branding campaign. Here’s the group video and another that focuses on me.

For my scientific research, I was a recipient of the L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science National Fellowship and MIT Technology Review’s 10 Innovators Under 35 (Asia).

As a media entrepreneur, I have been featured by CNBC Make It, BBC Business Briefing, MIT Technology Review, Vogue Singapore, Robb Report, The Peak, and Yahoo Finance, among others.

Some of my memorable FMCG brand tie-ups include those with L’Oréal, Audi and McLaren.

SCIENCE OF WORK PODCAST

Is there a science to achieving a fulfilling and successful career?

In Season 1 of the podcast, I interview business leaders on topics such as finding passion and purpose at work, interpersonal communication, professional growth and work-life balance.

SPIKE: THE VIRUS VS THE PEOPLE

I moderated the COVID-19 outbreak press conference at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos on 23 January 2020.

In the book Spike: The Virus Versus the People, the Inside Story, WHO Chief Scientist Sir Jeremy Farrar and co-author Anjana Ahuja write: "The somber meeting, in a darkened Issue Briefing Room, was briskly chaired by Juliana Chan, a science communicator from Singapore."
