To promote science reading to a wider audience, Science Promotion Unit has launched the Popular Science Reading Workshop since 2022, in which local science writers are invited to share their popular science books and provide interesting activities for participants to explore science through the books.
Mr. Tony Leung Wing Kin, a popular science writer, will introduce his book in the workshop. Through outdoor eco-tour and microclimate data collection, participants can learn more about ecology in the city, and explore the causes, consequences, as well as solutions in addressing urban heat island effect.
