  <title>EP1: The Future - Of Next-Normals, What-Ifs &amp;amp; Micro-Futures</title>
  <description>Join this episode's hosts, Aaron Maniam &amp;amp;amp; Eddie Choo as they speak to Cheryl Chung, Mariam Aljunied and Tan Eng Teck about trying on various lenses, rose-tinted or otherwise, in an attempt to envision a glimpse of Singapore's future.  Follow us on IG @TheBirthdayCollective for occasional AMAs with our panelists and on FB (The Birthday Collective) to learn about other initiatives and opportunities we have to offer.  About the Panel:  Aaron Maniam wears many hats as a curious generalist-civil servant, poet, volunteer educator &amp;amp;amp; diversity facilitator. He was the Founding Head of the Singapore Government's Centre for Strategic Futures, host of multiple CNA documentaries on the future of work &amp;amp;amp; equity and is the Co-founder of The Birthday Collective.  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 &amp;amp;amp; research experience in the area of special needs &amp;amp;amp; disability support. She volunteers actively with Autism Resource Centre, OnePeople.sg, Mendaki &amp;amp;amp; Muhammadiyah Home.  Tan Eng Teck&amp;amp;nbsp;is a Systems Analyst who lives at the intersection of geopolitics, technology &amp;amp;amp; social issues. As a social scientist, learner, builder &amp;amp;amp; coordinator, he enjoys futures thinking - where he dances with black swans &amp;amp;amp; rides with the black elephants of tomorrow. </description>
