AsianScientist (Dec. 4, 2014) – After exactly one year of being in print, you can guarantee that a party was in store at Asian Scientist Magazine.
And that’s exactly what happened yesterday evening as Asian Scientist Magazine celebrated its first anniversary in print with a cocktail celebration at Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre.
Hosted in conjunction with Suntec Singapore, the event was attended by media partners, friends and colleagues. The guest of honor for the evening was SPRING Singapore Chairman Mr. Philip Yeo, with Mrs. Doreen Phua, managing director of World Scientific Publishing Company (WSPC), also in attendance.
Kicking off the event was Chairman Philip Yeo, who congratulated the team at Asian Scientist for the launch of their print magazine, followed by Dr. Juliana Chan, editor-in-chief of Asian Scientist Magazine, who charted the magazine’s trajectory since it was launched in early 2011.
Ending the evening on a high note was Mr. Max Phua, executive director of WSPC, who commended Asian Scientist’s efforts to nurture a science communications industry in Asia.
“I think there are two reasons that Asian Scientist is doing so well: First, they have found a specific niche and they are staying true to their vision, which is to cover Asian science, focusing on Asia and Asian researchers,” said Mr. Phua. “Second, the magazine is curated by professional scientists and experienced science journalists, which means that they are writing for their peers, and trusted by their peers.”
With a successful first year in print, the team at Asian Scientist is hoping for more bumper years to come. See you next year!
