On Good Things, we celebrate - you guessed it - good people, doing good things. From CSO's and NGO's, to community groups and individuals, we give props to selfless folks helping others, and who are making an impact in our world, in big and small ways.
Here’s a good thing you need to know: Malaysia just made it into the Royal Society’s history books! Dr Ravigadevi Sambanthamurthi has become the first Malaysian scientist to be elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society - a 364-year-old institution that’s honoured some of the greatest minds in science, including Darwin, Newton and Einstein, just to name a few. Her groundbreaking work in oil palm biochemistry and genomics is behind this milestone, proving that world-class science is thriving right here in our region. She joins us to share more about this historic honour, the science behind her success, and why collaboration is at the heart of every breakthrough.

What Makes The Brain Beautiful
Here's a good thing you need to know: We're getting better at understanding how the brain works and how disorders in the brain lead to changes in moods, emotions and behaviours. This World Brain Day, which was observed on 22 July, we speak to a neuroscientist to explore the mysteries of the brain, and to celebrate what makes every person’s brain unique.

When Youths Unite For The Earth, Hope Grows
Is there still hope to course-correct for Earth, when everything seems to be heading the wrong way? This generation of youths definitely think so, especially when they come together to fight for a better future for us all. That’s what Youths United for Earth is doing, as they rally youths - and everyone else - to do their part in environmental advocacy. So in conjunction with World Youth Skills Day, celebrated annually on the 15th of July, we speak to Max Han and Nurfatin Hamzah, both co-founders of Youths United for Earth to learn more about their work and how they’re empowering the next generation of youths in Malaysia.
