亚太科学技术协会执行会长娄芸鹤博士在开幕致辞中表示：“科学是人类探索未知的灯塔，是文明进步的阶梯。今天我们创立‘科学家俱乐部’，旨在打造一个非正式但充满活力的思想交汇地——不仅是灵感碰撞的沙龙，更是跨界融合的沃土与友谊合作的桥梁。”
她强调，俱乐部将致力于打破学科壁垒，促进人工智能、半导体、工程科技、伦理哲学等多领域对话，推动科学创意在交流中萌芽，在合作中落地。
In her opening remarks, Dr. Lou Yunhe, Executive President of the Asia-Pacific Association for Science and Technology, stated, “Science is the beacon of humanity’s exploration of the unknown and the ladder of civilization’s progress. Today, we are establishing the ‘Scientists’ Club’ to create an informal yet vibrant space for the exchange of ideas—not only a salon for the collision of inspirations, but also a fertile ground for cross-disciplinary integration and a bridge for friendly cooperation.” She emphasized that the club will be committed to breaking down disciplinary barriers, promoting dialogue across multiple fields such as artificial intelligence, semiconductors, engineering technology, and ethics, and fostering scientific creativity to germinate through exchange and take root through collaboration.
Dr. Lou Yunhe further pointed out that the Asia-Pacific region, as one of the most dynamic and innovative regions in the world, urgently needs a free, open, and inclusive platform to stimulate local scientific creativity and build a close-knit collaborative network. “We hope that the light of science can not only illuminate laboratories, but also help address global challenges such as climate change, public health, and sustainable development.”
娄芸鹤博士进一步指出，亚太地区作为全球最具活力与创新潜力的区域之一，亟需一个自由、开放、包容的平台，以激发本土科学创造力，构建紧密协作网络。“我们期待科学之光不仅能照亮实验室，更能助力应对气候变化、公共卫生、可持续发展等全球性挑战。”
The inaugural “Singrass Talk” featured a presentation by Mr. Li Ruiwu, founder of Singrass Technology, on the theme of “Urban Indoor Air Optimization”.
首场“Singrass talk”，由Singrass科技机构创办人李瑞武先生发表了关于“城市室内空气优化”为主题的演讲。
李瑞武先生指出：1983年，世界卫生组织发布了“病态建筑综合征SBS”。这是空调病之后室内环境中污染源更为复杂、危害更为严重的城市化问题。在新加坡等亚洲国家，高过10层的建筑物超过40年历史的很少，也就是在这40多年的快速城市化过程中，高楼大厦如雨后春笋、鳞次栉比，要么密闭无窗，要么只开空调不开窗。在新加坡这样的热带地区，90%以上的人们90%以上的时间在室内度过。
Mr. Li Ruiwu pointed out that in 1983, the World Health Organization published the “Sick Building Syndrome (SBS)”. This is an urbanization problem with more complex and serious indoor pollution sources than air conditioning sickness. In Asian countries like Singapore, very few buildings taller than 10 stories are over 40 years old. During these past 40 years of rapid urbanization, high-rise buildings have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, either completely sealed without windows or relying solely on air conditioning. In tropical regions like Singapore, over 90% of people spend over 90% of their time indoors.
In 1970, the United States passed the Clean Air Act. German and American scientists conducted in-depth research on indoor environmental pollution, proposing three main characteristics of indoor air pollution: cumulativeity, meaning that trace pollutants entering indoors through central air conditioning or fresh air systems accumulate indoors; complexity, meaning that all pollutants present in outdoor air are also present indoors, and volatile organic compound (VOC) pollution from interior decoration and renovation exacerbates indoor air pollution. Low concentration and long-term effects: Although formaldehyde and TVOCs exist at low concentrations, their volatilization period can last for 10-15 years, still posing a threat to human health.
1970年，美国发布《清洁空气法案》。德国、美国科学家针对室内环境污染进行了深入研究，提出室内空气污染的三大特点：累积性，即通过中央空调或新风系统随户外空气进入室内的微量污染物在室内形成积聚。复杂性，即户外空气中有的污染物室内都有，室内空间装修装饰带来的挥发性有机化合物污染加剧了室内空气污染。低浓度、长期性，即甲醛、TVOC等虽然是低浓度存在，但其挥发期长达10-15年，仍然会对人体构成伤害。
SINGRASS in Singapore has long been committed to research on “indoor environment, plant communities, and human health.” Utilizing the SINGRASS®️ Indoor Intelligent Ecosystem ISES™️, it cultivates plant communities in indoor environments, bringing the Singapore Botanic Gardens to every floor and every household in every high-rise building. This allows people working, studying, and engaging in activities within these spaces to enjoy the botanical garden’s habitat, breathe fresh, forest-like air, and enjoy the “freshest, pollution-free, and traceable” leafy greens. Through harvesting and eating these vegetables, they can also experience the therapeutic benefits of physical and mental well-being.
SINGRASS在新加坡长期致力于“室内环境、植物群落、人的健康”的研究，其利用SINGRASS®️室内智能生态系统ISES™️在室内环境中建植植物群落，可以把新加坡植物园搬进每一栋高楼大厦的每一层、每一户，让在其中工作、学习、活动的人们享受植物园的生境，呼吸到森林般的新鲜空气，享受到“最新鲜、无公害、免溯源”的叶菜，并通过采收和包菜获得愉悦身心的疗愈价值。
Following Mr. Li’s presentation, a relaxed dialogue ensued, focusing on issues related to air optimization in enclosed spaces. Attendees shared their perspectives. Professor Lin Fujiang believes that “Clearing rooms” in the chip manufacturing industry are most in need of air optimization systems like Singrass to address the health concerns faced by employees in chip manufacturing companies. Mr. Ong Kok Chye, Vice President of Great Eastern Insurance, also believes that air quality in modern office spaces is indeed a significant cause of health problems, and he believes that Singrass provides office workers with an excellent work environment optimization system. Participants engaged in in-depth exchanges on topics such as technological innovation trends, industry-academia-research integration, and the ethics of future technologies.
李总演讲结束后，围绕着封闭空间空气优化的相关问题，大家以轻松对话形式展开，与会嘉宾们也纷纷发表了自己的看法，林福江教授认为芯片制造领域里的“Clearing room”最需要Singrass这样的空气优化系统，以解决芯片制造企业员工面临的健康困扰；大东方保险副总裁Ong Kok Chye先生也认为现代办公空间里的空气质量的确是导致人们健康问题的重要原因，他认为Singrass给办公族带来了很好的工作环境优化系统；与会者围绕科技创新趋势、产学研融合、未来技术伦理等议题展开深入交流。
The atmosphere was lively, with scholars and industry experts discussing cutting-edge developments and sharing practical experiences amidst the aroma of coffee and candid dialogue, initially building cross-disciplinary cooperation links.
现场气氛活跃，学者与业界专家在咖啡香气与坦诚对话中探讨前沿动态，分享实践经验，初步构建起跨领域合作纽带。
It is reported that the “Scientists Club” will regularly host a series of themed events, aiming to become a permanent exchange platform for scientists, engineers, and industry leaders in the Asia-Pacific region, promoting the in-depth development of knowledge sharing, project collaboration, and mentorship mechanisms.
据悉，“科学家俱乐部”未来将定期举办系列主题活动，旨在成为亚太地区科学家、工程师与产业领袖的常设交流平台，推动知识共享、项目协作与 mentorship 机制的深化发展。
This event was hosted by the Asia-Pacific Association for Science and Technology, with venue support provided by Singrass. The association stated that it will continue to expand the club’s influence, attracting more young scientists and cross-disciplinary participants to join, injecting continuous momentum into scientific and technological innovation in the Asia-Pacific region and globally.
本次活动由亚太科学技术协会主办，Singrass提供场地支持。协会表示，将继续拓展俱乐部影响力，吸引更多青年科学家与跨界参与者加入，为亚太乃至全球科技创新注入持续动力。
