Hello everybody out there... I am a Physics student in UTM Malaysia. I attended a workshop today about paper publishing and proposal writing (the talks given by Dr. Steven Meyer and Dr. Dat Tran...) it was impressive. So I have registered and logged in to keep in touch with the science community..

Hi Zuhab,

I'm also participant of the same workshop but it was in Medan, Indonesia.

I also find the workshop as impressive.

Let's join Young Indonesian and Malaysian Scientists and Engineers in this forum and share your workshop experience there.

And don't forget to follow the forum. You can also create your own discussion there.

good to know you Subhan, "TsunamiLand"...is it named after Tsunami or is it the original name of the place?

It is interesting that people from diverse fields traveled from far regions to attend the workshop. What do u do by the way Subhan?

Oki its good to know that guys like you and your other friend Subhan who are not specifically working in science, traveled from far areas to attend the workshop.

I can understand about the people of my field, they are always hungry for publications and writing scientific proposals for getting big grants etc. But may I know, what attracted you towards it? and how it was beneficent for you?
