The Tembusu (Fagraea fragrans) is a large evergreen tree in the family Gentianaceae. It is native to Southeast Asia. Its trunk is dark brown, with deeply fissured bark, looking somewhat like a bittergourd. It grows in an irregular shape from 10 to 25m high. Its leaves are light green and oval in shape. Its yellowish flowers have a distinct fragrance and the fruits of the tree are bitter tasting red berries, which are eaten by birds and fruit bats. Source: Tembusu, Wikipedia

STUDENT’S TEA WITH MS HONOR HARGER

Host: Erica Lim and Ong Kah Jing

Honor Harger is the current executive director of the ArtScience Museum. With a rich, interdisciplinary career, she has navigated the intersections between art and science, founding an art collective called r a d i o q u a l i a which visualises the unseen with sound. She considers the project mostly retired, and now focuses on her curatorial efforts. Under her helm, the ArtScience Museum has seen a shift towards more scientific exhibitions, beginning with Da Vinci: Shaping the Future.

She has since introduced a wide array of captivating displays, such as the Future World permanent exhibition, and most recently the upcoming NASA – A Human Adventure exhibition. Blurring the artificially constructed boundaries between art and science, her work has been dedicated to blending different disciplines together to create something beautiful, bizarre and breathtaking.
