UTAR Popular Science Series: How to turn an Engineer to an Inventor?
Engineers are trained to solve problems with their knowledge of science and mathematics to create solutions that make our lives easier and more efficient. But what if an engineer wants to go beyond solving problems and creating something new, or what if they want to be an inventor? The path from engineer to inventor is not always easy. It requires creativity, perseverance, and a willingness to take risks. But it is also a rewarding path that can lead to a lifetime of innovation.

Video Abstract: The Making and The Application for Scholarly Communication
A video is worth a million words, and a scientific video abstract could immerse your publication readers into the world of discovery, telling them they must read your paper. Most researchers need 7-10 passes to understand a scientific paper. But if the author can provide a video abstract at the article level, it helps the readers to speed up the reading with better comprehension. But there are questions and challenges for a scientific author to make a video abstract while authoring a scientific publication, thesis, or dissertation. This workshop will address those questions and challenges, helping researchers to create a high-quality video abstract faster and more cost-effective. You will also learn about the different applications of video abstracts ranging from hosting on YouTube, sharing through social media like ResearchGate, improving scientific presentation, and strengthening the credential for fundraising. All these applications will lead to better research visibility and citation.
So, join us to explorer and learn more about creating a high-quality video abstract faster and more cost-effective!
