Most of what we had today was the work of the previous human that live before us. It is their understanding, thinking, and innovation that shape the lives of future generation. This is something that really important that we must always bear in mind.
I recently bump into the wide range of product commercialized by the research of the Institute of Bioproduct Development (IBD) UTM. I was amazed by what they produced based on their research. These includes wide range of natural food supplements, cosmetic, fertelizer and also chocolate! Not an ordinary one though, its a Probiotic Chocolate that can help hospital patients overcome the problem associated with loss of beneficial bacteria when antibiotics are administered. How cool is that?
IBD also involve in various research that successfully produced new generation of aromatherapy products.
These are the fruit of real academia, we are not just developing minds and human capital, but also turning our idea and understanding into product that can readily be use by the communities. By grooming new talent, new knowledge we actually shaping how future generation will live. John Maynard Keynes once said:
Ideas shape the course of history
