ScienTeach is a collection of episodes that highlights varying topics featuring National Scientists, NAST Members and its awardees who are accomplished in their respective fields. It utilizes online platforms while obtaining the objectives of the traditional lecture series, which are to: 1) promote science and technology, 2) bring our scientists closer to the youth, and 3) inspire and encourage the students to pursue a career in science.
The NAST PHL is an attached agency of the Department of Science and Technology and is dedicated to embark on projects and programs designed to promote scientific productivity and in fostering excellence in the field of science and technology in the country.
