Hello, I’m Su Yee.

I’m a scientist, mother, and lifelong learner with a deep love for education, systems, and the small details that shape everyday life.

I’m especially passionate about early education and how children learn — how curiosity forms, how confidence grows, and how the right environment can help a child ask better questions about the world.

I’m also the kind of weird mother who reads labels, scrutinises ingredients, asks too many questions, and wants to understand what things are really made of — whether it’s food in the kitchen, skincare in the bathroom, or the tools we use to build healthier lives.

By training, I am a biologist, entomologist, and systems thinker within pest management and vector control. By curiosity, I explore recipes in the kitchen, pest management strategies, ingredient labels in food and personal care, artificial intelligence, financial tools, Buddhist philosophy, music, motherhood, and the art of living more intentionally.

This site is my public notebook.

Some essays will be technical. Some will be personal. Most will sit somewhere between science, systems, money, meaning, learning, and the everyday experiments of family life.

I write about

Vector Control, Pest Management, Public Health and Disease management
Mosquitoes, dengue, resistance, surveillance, public health tools, and better systems for managing pests and disease. Termites, structural pests that are destructive,

Children, Learning & Education
Early education, curiosity, child development, bilingual learning, nature-based play, and how children make sense of the world.

Ingredients & Everyday Living
Food, personal care, labels, formulation, natural products, and what we choose to put in and on our bodies.

AI & Systems
Tools, workflows, automation, and the systems that help reduce mental clutter.

Money & Optionality
Personal finance education, financial tools, investing, side projects, and the pursuit of more freedom and choice.

Philosophy & Inner Work
Buddhism, ambition, motherhood, burnout, discipline, desire, and peace.

Music & Creativity
Piano, improvisation, learning, and creative recovery.

Current experiments

I’m building small tools, writing fieldnotes, and collecting useful ideas across science, money, AI, education, family life, and personal care.

More soon.
