Guest: Dr Ravigadevi Sambanthamurthi, Biotechnologist

Here’s a good thing you need to know: Malaysia just made it into the Royal Society’s history books! Dr Ravigadevi Sambanthamurthi has become the first Malaysian scientist to be elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society - a 364-year-old institution that’s honoured some of the greatest minds in science, including Darwin, Newton and Einstein, just to name a few. Her groundbreaking work in oil palm biochemistry and genomics is behind this milestone, proving that world-class science is thriving right here in our region. She joins us to share more about this historic honour, the science behind her success, and why collaboration is at the heart of every breakthrough.
