TOPIC 3 | Filipino Scientists Flashcards
This is a title that is given to young Filipinos who have outstandingly made contributions to science and technology.
Outstanding Young Scientist (OYS)
How to obtain OYS?
must be a Filipino
must not be 41 years old and older
have ability to undertake research as evidenced by papers published in reputable scientific journals.
Discovered the wavy root elongation growth 1 (weg1) gene, which may help rice cope with drought, especially in rainfed lowlands where water is scarce.
NONAWIN L. AGUSTIN
Discovered first Drosera Rotundifilia (Droseraceae) in the Philippines.
FULGENT P. CORITICO
Contributions to sophisticated computational intelligence models for precision and sustainable agriculture and decision-support systems.
RONNIE S. CONCEPCION II
Her areas of interest in research include tectonics, geophysics, igneous and sedimentary geochemistry, and economic geology.
JILLIAN AIRA S. GABO-RATIO
aims to promote information exchange and accelerate the flow of new technology into the country through strengthening the scientific and technological manpower of the academe and public and private institutions.
Balik Scientist Program (BSP)
She developed a plant vitamin and developed a healing patch more commonly known as hydrogel. “Hydrogel is a covering, equivalent to a gauze but acts better than a gauze. It’s essentially a dressing,” said Abad of her invention.
Lucille Abad
Developed community-based methodologies to monitor biological diversity and described at least 10 new mammals in his country.
Phillip Alviola
Excelling in research and mentoring students in the Photonics Laboratory, he actively promotes research by Filipino scientists via his blog, Imprints of Philippine Science.
Nathaniel Hermosa II
Schistosomiasis research and vaccine development. He is one of only eight Filipinos who was named as one of the AS100.
Mario Antonio Jiz II
He developed standards for strategic planning for competitiveness within the context of sustainability for manufacturing organizations, including major firms and SMEs.
Lanndon Ocampo
He led the mapping and paleoseismic research along the Valley Fault System, which runs through the Greater Metro Manila Area and other active faults in the Philippines. He also handled the active faults and paleoseismic investigations along the Philippine fault.
Jeffrey Perez
He led numerous researches in space development in the Philippines.
Rogel Mari Sese
She organizes summer camps and marine science events for the youth because she believes that producing advocates of science starts at the basic level of education and that there is a need to strongly enhance scientific literacy in the country.
Aletta Concepcion Yñiguez
Enumerate the 6 Steps in Kuhnian Cycle.
Pre-science
Normal Science
Model Drift
Model Crisis
Model Revolution
Paradigm Change
The field has no workable paradigm to successfully guide its work.
Pre-Science
The normal step is where the field has a scientifically based model of understanding (a paradigm) that works.
Normal Science
The model of understanding starts to drift, due to the accumulation of anomalies, a phenomenon the model cannot explain.
Model Drift
The Model Drift becomes so excessive the model is broken. It can no longer serve as a reliable guide to problem-solving.
Model Crisis
When one or more competing new models emerge from the crisis, this step gets started.
Model Revolution
The field changes from the previous paradigm to the new one while developing the older one to maturity.
Paradigm Change
