ToK! Every IB Student would tell you how much they love this core subject or the opposite! But here at SSC, thanks to Teacher Sneil making it interesting and challenging in a good way, SSCians get to develop their thinking skills further!
This past month, there was a TED ToK Exhibition for Batch 2022 and two extraordinary speakers.
Miguel de Jesus: Cancer Biology PhD candidate and a graduate student researcher of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. Soon to be Dr de Jesus presented an exciting overview of the many aspects of cancer biology and its highlights as a branch of the natural sciences. His valuable insights and focus on relevant and pragmatic information about the field provide a unique experience for our Pupils that will serve as an appropriate springboard to discover how knowledge is developed and acquired in the natural sciences.
Dr Chin Reyes, PhD: Applied Developmental Scientist and Director of the Child Study Center of the Yale University School of Medicine. What a privilege it was to hear her speak about how the branch of human sciences was more than a mere aspect of science but also a tool utilised to fuel societal change. From her talk, we find out how her research findings could influence today’s educational system and criminal justice issues.
Thus, TOK? We like it!
