Introduction to the World of Fungi | Down to Earth ![]() The kingdom of Fungi, making up one of the five kingdoms of living beings, has an estimated 3.8 million species. These fungi range from edible mushrooms that routinely sprout after rain, to fungi that exist underground for their entire lifecycle. Fungi/mushrooms have been used for different medicinal purposes, be it in traditional Chinese medicine (Eg: Gandoderma and Cordyceps) to modern western medication (Eg: Penicillin from Penicillum chrysogenum). In addition to existing independently, an estimated 80+% of existing plant species form symbiotic relationships with fungi within their roots. Join us for a glimpse into the fascinating fungal world. This programme is held in conjunction with Republic Polytechnic. |

Phytoplankton Ecology in Singapore and Beyond! | Down to Earth ![]() Phytoplankton play a vital role in aquatic ecosystems and sequester carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. More than 50% of our oxygen comes from phytoplankton in the world’s oceans and lakes. Understanding the role of phytoplankton in aquatic ecosystems will help in advancing the solutions to problems facing today’s water resources, such as harmful algal blooms, pollution, and climate change. Join us in this talk as Dr Maxine Mowe shares more on phytoplankton and how their growth and production can possibly be the solution for increasing carbon capture globally. This programme is part of a series on sustainability co-curated with the NUS Department of Biological Sciences. About the Speaker: Dr. Maxine Mowe is a biology lecturer at the National University of Singapore in the Department of Biological Sciences and has more than 14 years of research experience in aquatic biology specifically in phytoplankton and zooplankton ecology and has been a lecturer since 2019. She has worked on the ecology of several cyanobacterial taxa (Microcystis, Raphidiopsis), phytoplankton and zooplankton interactions, microplastic impacts and eutrophication and algal bloom mitigation using aquatic plants in Singapore’s reservoirs and coastal environment. She teaches various biology and ecology courses (General Biology, Evolutionary Biology, Freshwater Biology, Plankton Ecology) for undergraduate students and several courses (Freshwater Conservation, Food Security and Sustainability and Internships) for the Masters’ programme in NUS on Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainability. She is also a voluntary committee member for Care for Creation Committee at Caritas since 1 January 2023. Together with the rest of the committee, she has planned several environmental activities including beach clean-ups, intertidal walks, tree planting events and workshops for adults and children.
