sci month?

 


The theme of the National Science Month celebration in the year 2025, "Harnessing the Unknown: Powering the Future through Science and Innovation", serves in some manner like a deliberate call to forage exploration with purpose; to regard uncertainty not as a barrier but as a frontier that is to be molded through human ingenuity. Science is not merely the act of unearthing nature's secrets; it is the medium through which societies can unleash their innovations against the persistent challenges posed by real-world issues, from those concerning climate resilience to public health. This boost is meant to inspire communities not only into scientific literacy but also to develop a culture that appreciates curiosity and problem-solving that meets real social needs.


This marks the initiation of the work for a collaborative approach to knowledge creation process, albeit in a linear form involving researchers producing knowledge that is then applied by society. Open science and public engagement advocate for discursive processes in knowledge transfer to be open to greater democracy. Science or dialogues could also be looked at from the angle of value creation models where research creates not only data but also social value through public policy, education, and social practice. Meanwhile, public trust in science is of prime importance, so the finding that the majority of people from 68 countries advocate more engagement of scientists in decision-making suggests the expectation that science ought to be socially pertinent and participatory.

But such a deepening interdependence has responsibility and tension associated with it. The more science is incorporated into societal decision-making, the more unavoidable ethical reflection, transparency, and inclusiveness become. The risks of misinformation, distrust, and unequal access to the supposed benefits of technology must be directly confronted. In that specific interpretation, envisioning science as a public good serves to frame one's responsibilities-both collective and individual-for scientists and institutions. In time, the most resilient societies will be those that become gradually open about scientific inquiry, moderated reflexively, and guided collectively with and by the communities that it serves.

Something About Me that Now I Still Remember.

     Hi to everyone who reads this!      I am Cyril Glenn Paat currently residing in Zone 3 Bantay Ilocos Sur. I want to share something about myself: my hobbies, interests, dislikes, and things I enjoy doing in my spare time.      To start, I am very much simple when it comes to things that fascinate me. That's art, particularly painting and drawing. I'm not doing these arts as a hobby; more of a stress reliever or relaxation activity. On top of it, my interest in art makes me fond of solving Rubik's cubes, which stimulate my mind and satisfy my mental hunger.      Watching crime documentaries is another one of my passions because this is the film and TV genre that I adore most. What interests me about it is the deducing of mysteries and understanding how the human mind actually works. Otherwise, Id spend time with headphones on listening to music while playing video games.      As much as there are indoor activ...

A Change Of Heart

Image
    It started like any other day just another task to clean up the garbage in the garden, just another day in the life. But then something changed. What was normal became reflective. What reflective became transformative of my space, my mind, my agency, my spirit.        I needed to clean the garden because fallen fruits decorated my yard in more numbers than I could count rotting, decaying, bruised, crushed, trampled. Usually, I take this little cleaning project for granted and barely give it a second thought but this time was different.     Following through  I was in a transformative state of mind   without knowing it because instead of acknowledging the fruits as garbage disposable debris found on the curb or lying in my yard I saw this as an opportunity for education, creation, and evolution.      As I sorted through the waste plastic bottles, wrappers, food scraps I began to realize something important we ...

Super Teacher

  The theme of the Teacher's Month 2025 “My Teacher, My Hero” is, without a doubt, a very good reflection of the tremendous impact that the educators have outside the classroom, a feeling that I can't help but feel when I think about the guidance of Sir Julius Pajarillo. His heroism is not just the lack of extraordinary deeds, it is the constant, unchangeable, and not-to-be-challenged kindness and prompter presence that he brings to me as his pupil.  Both as a teacher who is fully committed and a coach who is addicted to the practice of journalism, particularly radio broadcasting, Sir Julius is able to pull up the curtain gray with stale subjects and people, he announces, "here comes the discovery of self-worth." The first thing you notice about his manner is that he is so comfortable and relaxed that all the barriers are immediately lifted; student-teacher relationships are transformed into the kind of partnership where my intellectual and personal growth is not only...
