Jones’s (2022) article “Spray-On, Rinse-Off Food ‘Wrapper’ Can Cut Plastic Packaging” informs the public about the newly developed food c oating created by researchers that has the potential to minimize food waste and prevent foodborne illness without the use of plastic. This new coating is nontoxic, biodegradable, and antimicrobial. Pullulan, which is its primary ingredient, is an edible fiber that is "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Additionally, the coating contains nisin, a bacterially created compound, as well as the naturally occurring antimicrobials citric acid, and thyme oil. All of these substances are considered to be safe for eating if given the appropriate amount. It is simple and effective to use and remove, simply spray the coating on, then run it under water to remove it.

Dear Professor Brad, My name is Tan Hwee Leen, and I am a Year 1 mechanical engineering student attending your critical thinking and communication module.  I received a mechanical engineering diploma from Ngee Ann Polytechnic before pursuing my education at Singapore Institute of Technology. As I have always enjoyed maths and physics since secondary school, I decided to take this course. The fact that my relative is a mechanical engineer provided me with a lot of information about this industry is another factor that contributed to my interest in the field.  I believe that one of my greatest strengths in communication is being an active listener. I often identify as an INFP after taking the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator tests; this personality type is known for being a good listener and for effortlessly putting people at ease. To demonstrate understanding, I frequently paraphrase my own words and share personal experiences. My weakness in communication is when my hands will get sweaty wh

After having read the passage, I realise how important communication and critical thinking are because they go hand in hand with each other. Critical thinking is a key to effective communication.

It is a business strategy that will determine the success of the projects. Moreover, it makes the parties involved in the project understand the goal, budget, and strategy of the project.  A leader usually engages in one-way communication, which may involve providing an update or explaining a project or business deal. In situations like this, critical thinking aids in organising my thoughts and improves the delivery of my message. With critical thinking infused into the job, it enables me to approach issues in a more logical and effective manner. As a leader, I will be able to make fair judgments and accurate decisions. Leaders with good communication m
