I went down to Republic Polytechnic in Singapore yesterday to see what students pursuing a Diploma in Marine Science and Aquaculture do.

I was pleasantly surprised by a hands-on session where I learnt about the morphology of a unicellular green algae called Tetraselmis suecica. It is a primary producer that is able to photosynthesis, contributing to the oxygen content in our atmosphere.

A highly interesting session indeed! Find out more about the diploma @ http://www.rp.edu.sg/Diploma_in_Marine_Science_and_Aquaculture_(R53).aspx
