QUEZON CITY (PIA) -- To revolutionize the dissemination of scientific knowledge and solutions, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) has forged a groundbreaking collaboration with Presidential Broadcasting Service (PBS) Radyo Pilipinas, launching a new radio program aimed at connecting the public with the wonders of science.
Titled "Radyo Siyensya: Sa DOST, konektado ka!", the program promises to be a bridge for listeners across the nation. This initiative is a significant milestone in the DOST's mission to make science accessible for all.
The brain behind this innovative endeavor is none other than Dr. Renato U. Solidum Jr., Secretary of the DOST, who will serve as the program's host alongside Onin Miranda. With their expertise and passion for science, they aim to demystify complex concepts and showcase the practical applications of scientific research and innovation.
“Ngayong taon, nagbabalik ang ating programa sa radyo, napakasarap sa pakiramdam.Personally, bilang isang radio broadcaster, na-miss ko ito. Ang pagbuo ng koneksyon sa mga tagapakinig/manonood ay isa sa mga layunin ng ating programa… para sa mas maraming tao ang magkaroon ng kaalaman at pag-unawa tungkol sa iba’t ibang mga inisyatiba, programa at proyekto ng DOST. Ang ating programa ay maaaring makatulong sa pagpapalaganap ng kamalayan sa agham, teknolohiya at inobasyon,” said Miranda, who will be bringing timely updates on DOST’s programs and services, from research funding, startup grants, scholarships, business assistance, and more.
(This year, our radio program is back, it feels great. Personally, as a radio broadcaster, I miss it. Building a connection with listeners/viewers is one of the goals of our program… for more people to have knowledge and understanding about the various initiatives, programs and projects of DOST. Our program can help spread awareness of science, technology and innovation.)
