Science chief urges S&T researchers to tell their stories. After emphasizing how science and technology could make the lives of every Filipino a lot better, Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Secretary Mario G. Montejo (above photo) encourages Filipino researchers to share to people the stories and inspiration behind their respective research projects.  Secretary Montejo believes that if researchers tell their own stories, people will appreciate and understand more the contributions of S &T researches to national development and progress. DOST gathered around 350 researchers from the academe, private and government sectors in a writeshop recently (bottom photo) at the DOST office in Taguig City to prepare narratives for a compendium of DOST programs and projects.  The collection of narratives will  be a testament on how the country’s S &T enterprise is harnessed  to provide solutions to current problems in the country.
