We are a group of three students currently studying in Raffles Institution, a secondary school in Singapore. Two of us, Geoffrey and Arnold, have participated in the October 2005 competion last year, while for Desmond this is his first time participating in ThinkQuest. Each year, students in our school are tasked with project work involving year round research on topics of our choice, and this year we have decided to adopt ThinkQuest and this topic of Avian Flu as our project topic. We hope that after extensive research into the topic with print and non-print resources, as well as conducting surveys and an interview with an expert in the area, our site would be able to give you and extensive overview of the global situation with regards to bird flu and the science involved in the topic, also highlighting our own opinions and analysis of the topic and whether enough has been done in response to and prevention of this possibly dawning catastrophe.
