🧬🗣️ At the heart of effective science communication is the most intrinsic, human pastime of telling stories. And like all captivating stories, its role is to meet audiences where they are, to make the narrative – the knowledge passed on – accessible and relevant without losing meaning. Organized by the Ateneo Institute of Sustainability (AIS), the Office of the Assistant Vice President for Research, Creative Work, and Innovation (OAVP–RCWI), and Science Communicators Philippines (SciCommPH), the Science Communication Workshop was held on 08 April 2026.

Facilitated by Mr. TJ Dimacali and Mr. Mikael Francisco, the workshop aimed to equip participants with the practical science communication skills that will help engage various audiences, as well as to explore further interdisciplinary collaboration in order to create more meaningful impact.

How should sustainability and climate change be embedded in chemistry education?

📅 This Wednesday, we’re launching new Green Shoots research informed by teachers, experts and young people, exploring what this looks like in practice. More soon.

This year’s celebration of Earth Day reminds us that environmental protection and conservation transcend boundaries. With biodiversity corridors as bridges for species and ecosystems, let’s take this day to use our power and become bridges ourselves and bring together multi-stakeholders to collaborate in protecting and conserving these crucial pathways.

Plastic is all around us.

From the air we breathe and the clothes we wear, plastic is in even more places than we realize.

For our planet and for future generations, let's act NOW to .

As the world advances with new technologies, the demand for natural resources continues to grow, placing increasing pressure on the planet that sustains us. However, human activities — from deforestation and land-use change to unsustainable production and consumption — are accelerating ecosystem decline.

This Earth Day 2026, we are reminded that protecting the climate remains central to safeguarding ecosystems, stable weather patterns, and human well-being.

With this year’s theme, “Our Power, Our Planet,” communities around the world are called to take meaningful action to protect our common home. From supporting clean energy to protecting forests, water, and biodiversity, every step contributes to a more resilient future.

International Mother Earth Day also reminds us of our shared responsibility to live in harmony with nature, as recognized in the Rio Declaration produced at the 1992 Earth Summit, ensuring a balanced path for economic progress, social development, and environmental protection for present and future generations.
