FAScinate is a play on the word “Fascinate” combined with the abbreviation
of the title for Academy of Sciences Malaysia Fellows (FASc). Befitting the
title itself, this programme features new ASM Fellows who will fascinate
and educate the audience with insights into the Fellow’s expertise and
experience.
Previously called ASM Fellows’ Lecture Series, the rebranding of this intellectual series follows ASM’s 25th Anniversary. FAScinate features a renewed format, transitioning from a formal lecture style into a more casual
engagement that is hoped to garner more public interest in science.

The Ocean covers over 70% of the planet and 76% of the Tropics is Ocean. It is our life source, supporting humanity’s sustenance and that of every other organism on Earth. The Ocean produces at least 50% of the planet’s oxygen, is home to most of Earth’s biodiversity, and is the main source of protein for more than a billion people around the world. An estimated 40 million people will be employed by ocean-based industries by 2030.
