A new series of "Liberal Studies" articles under
the "Science in the Public Service" Campaign
|
The
"Science in
the Public Service" Campaign and the Hong Kong Economic Times cooperate
in the publication of a series of articles which introduce how
government
bureaux,
departments and collaborating organizations use science and
technology to serve the public. The Hong Kong Economic Times publishes the articles on
its Liberal Studies
section every Monday (excluding holiday) since 5 May
2008.
Covering a wide range of topics, the articles are produced after interviews with
experts or professionals from government
departments or famous organizations. Several very interesting articles
have so far been published.
They include: (1.) 治水疏洪 基建為民 by the Drainage Services
Department, (2.) 防•治害蟲 by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation
Department, (3.) 遺傳學研究 by the Department of Health, (4.) 管綫專業 by The
Hong Kong Institution of Engineers, (5.) 輻射 by the Hong Kong
Observatory, (6.) 水管測漏 by the Water Supplies Department, and (7.)
第3.5代流動閉路電視（3.5G Mobile CCTV）by the Electrical and Mechanical Services
Department. Each article is followed by a discussion column to stimulate students' thinking.
With the permission of the Hong Kong
Economic
Times, all the articles published so far can also be found in the "Science in
the Public Service" web page under http://www.science.gov.hk/eng/liberal-studies-e.htm .
The
"Science in the Public Service" Campaign was launched in 2006. It is
a joint campaign by government bureaux,
departments and collaborating organizations to let people know
more about their scientific achievements
and the application of science and technology in providing services.
