Photographs from Freshers’ Mingle 2013 and Fireside Chat with Dr Shaun Martin

We had a fantastic time on 24 August 2013 at the Fireside Chat given by Dr Shaun Martin (DPhil in Mathematics, Oxford), the co-founder of Applied Cognitive Science, who shared with us on the Cognitive Revolution and how the evolving science of the mind is changing how economists, philosophers and businesses view the world.  Many thanks to Shaun for giving the talk, as well as Donald Low, Associate Dean for Executive Education and Research at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKYSPP) for facilitating the session.

Some freshers who are preparing to make their way up to Oxford or Cambridge also attended and this was a great opportunity for them to connect with older alumni. For those of you who missed the event, some photographs are available on the website. (We will try and get a more professional camera next time!)
