Dr. Chathuri Jayasinghe Senior Lecturer of the Department of Statistics, University of Sri Jayewardenepura (USJ), served as a resource person at the workshop titled “Writing High-Quality Articles for Peer-Reviewed Science Journals”, organized by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The event took place on 30th October 2025 at the NSF Auditorium and was attended by 232 participants, with 80 joining in person and the remainder participating via Zoom.
The workshop brought together a distinguished panel of experts who shared guidance on the nuances of scientific publishing. Dr. Chathuri delivered a session emphasizing key statistical considerations that can enhance the quality, credibility, and impact of research articles.
Attendees included academics, researchers, and postgraduate students from universities and research institutions across the country, fostering a collaborative environment for learning and professional development.
Our senior lecturer, Mr. P. Dias, recently participated in the live television program “Mihithalaya”, where he discussed the fascinating connection between mathematics and the environment. During the session, he explained how mathematical concepts are deeply intertwined with natural processes and how they help us understand and address environmental challenges more effectively.
Mr. Dias also illustrated how mathematics influences everyday activities—from optimizing resource use to predicting environmental changes—emphasizing its vital role in creating a more sustainable world. His discussion shed light on the power of mathematical thinking in fostering environmental awareness and practical solutions for the future.
