A tribute to a decade of serving the people

This year, we are celebrating Agham and Agham-Youth’s ten years of making science and technology serve the people. As a tribute to a decade of struggle and service, I’ve uploaded and collected in a YouTube playlist the thematic (and classic) short videos of Agham and Agham-Youth since 1999. Click here to reminisce and strengthen your commitment.

Popularizing Science

Reposting from Marjorie Pamintuan’s column in the Manila Times, SciPop: Popularizing Science. Marj is a member and an officer of Agham-Youth, an organization of advocates of science and technology for the people. Agham-Youth has just celebrated it’s 10 years of activism and service to the Filpino people last March 29, 2009.

Of course, I’m proud to be one of the founders of Agham-Youth.

SciPop: Popularizing Science
by Marjorie Pamintuan

It was March 1 when I woke up at four in the morning to catch a ride to the Rosario National High School in Cavite. We were to hold a Career Orientation Day for high school students under our SciPop program. After a minibus and tricycle ride, we were facing 200 students eager to hear about careers in science.

Prometheus Bound, bloopers edition

Prometheus Bound (click here for the documentary), a documentary about the state of science and technology in the Philippines, was produced by Agham (Advocates of Science and Technology for the People) and the Science for Society Program of the College of Science, University of the Philippines Diliman. Overhauling the original concept, it was jointly written and directed by me, Natalie Pulvinar, and Prof. Gani Tapang. Weng Castillo was our very helpful production assistant.

This by the way, is the bloopers version. Hehe!
