On Wednesday's Backchat, we looked ahead to the upcoming National Games and the preparations that are needed to ensure it runs smoothly for audience members and participants.
Two professors from the Polytechnic University's department of rehabilitation sciences spoke to us about a 30-member team they'll be sending to the games to provide physiotherapy services. We also looked at a study arguing that giving girls toys that were designed for boys could help boost their STEM skills.
And after the break, two exhibitors from upcoming trade fairs joined us to talk about Hong Kong's burgeoning status as an exhibition hub. It comes ahead of four innovation and technology exhibitions that'll run from October 13 to 16, featuring 6,200 exhibitors from 27 economies.
