Eddie Choo writes about futures and systems on his Medium blog, Scalable Analysis. He also engages in interfaith dialogues at Explorations into Faith, a volunteer-run programme supported by Southeast Community Development Council. Cheryl Chung thinks about the future. A lot. As co-founder of Quad.sg, she is obsessed with how to expand space for non-partisan data-driven discourse in hopes that it would help us make better decisions for Singapore's future. Mariam Aljunied is a Chartered Psychologist with more than 25 years of professional practice & research experience in the area of special needs & disability support. She volunteers actively with Autism Resource Centre, OnePeople.sg, Mendaki & Muhammadiyah Home. Tan Eng Teck is a Systems Analyst who lives at the intersection of geopolitics, technology & social issues.
