Questions To Ask Scientists About Climate Change, Greenhouse Gases, Agriculture Etc, And What They/We Can Do For Farmers To Prosper

Questions, questions, questions! If you don’t know, ask. You go to school because you don’t know. You ask questions to know more. You read more because you want to know more. Not to forget to check what you think you know. The biggest question box in the world is your laptop; the biggest library is the Internet.

Here are questions for you as a scientist, whoever you are, who wants to be recognized. I am thinking of a book of experts to be published for consulting by those who are looking for scientific partners in their projects, individual or institutional. Original.

As a one-man-band digital writer, editor, and desktop publisher, if I were to collect curriculum vitae (CV) to include into a book to publish Filipino scientists, I would include the following (in the listing, what I believe is most important comes first, arrangement not alphabetical):

1.   Main/Special Expertise/s? (Never mind if they are technical in words – someone who is looking for scientists to hire will know what to do to learn more about you anyway.)

2.   Full Name?
(Note: In the above, it is not the Name but the Expertise/s is/are the first entry/ies and put above the Name of the Scientist. Why? Because expertise is the first thing someone interested in hiring experts for any research & development (R&D) project will look for, especially someone who does not know any scientist.)

3.   Bachelor Thesis? (complete title & brief presentation & discussion of Rationale)

4.   Masteral Thesis? (complete title & brief presentation & discussion of Rationale)

5.   Doctoral Thesis? (complete title & brief presentation & discussion of Rationale)
(Note for 3, 4 & 5: The Rationale, which is not emphasized by most if not all advisers of theses (Bachelor, Masteral, Doctoral), will tell specifically anyone why the experiment/s and/or study/ies was/were conducted. (If you did not mind the Rationale before, now you have to!)

6.   Family Background? – Note that this is #6 and not #1 in the writeup – This time, remember, people will want to know first what/where your origins before they want to know more of who you are! Include: full names, relationships, birthplace/s, brief description of family’s financial/social circumstances, etc.

7.   Personal Interests? – List down all things that characterize your preferences and living (everyday/weekly/monthly notes), especially if they indicate or imply hidden talent/s. Examples: Singing, Reading, This will be interesting to those who are looking for similar/dissimilar interests than they have.

8.   Experiments Conducted? – Experiments are parts of studies; list all you have done (never mind that the titles are “technical” – in any case, they give the reader an idea of what it is/they are all about.

9.   What can you say about How farmers can become prosperous, that is, get out of the poverty that they are immersed right now? Your response could be one paragraph only or one page.

Special Portion of your CV: Your favorite quote/s about (1) science, (2) scientists, (3) R&D, and/or (4) solution to poverty.@517

The End Of An Athlete’s Era – I’m Glad I’m An Intellectual Player, Not Physical, And I Compete Only With Myself Always Aiming For Social Victory!

Joan Solsona says, “Rafa Nadal Bids Farewell To Paris As A Legend After Falling To Zverev” (Tuesday, 28 May, msn.com ; image from cdnimages ). I say, “Farewell as a legend – that hurts much!” “The Spaniard was defeated in a match that lasted three hours and five minutes. “Roland Garros legend Rafael Nadal bid farewell to the tournament on Monday after a tough battle against Alexander Zverev. Nadal, who has dominated the clay courts of Paris for years, lost 6-3, 7-6(5), 6-3 in a gruelling match that lasted three hours and five minutes. “While only Nadal and his body know if this is a definitive goodbye, all signs seemed to point in that direction.” I, as an intellectual player, at 83 (in 4 months, 84), I thank God I am neither planning nor feeling toward saying goodbye to writing, after 24+ years, mostly blogging. The writing has been mostly inspiring – to myself and aimed to be inspiring to others. Lawn tennis and digital writing? The physical has limits – the mental has non...

Rappler CEO Maria Ressa tells Harvard U graduates: “Our world is on fire. Welcome to the battlefield” (23 May 2024, “Maria Ressa Tells Harvard Graduates: ‘Our World Is On Fire. Welcome To The Battlefield’" Rappler.com ). On May 23, Ms Ressa receives her Doctor of Laws honorary degree from Harvard University ; she addresses the estimated 30,000 graduates of Harvard Class of 2024 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Before that date, the Harvard campus has been the site of a 20-day pro–Palestine encampment. “The campus protests are testing everyone in America. Protests are healthy; they shouldn’t be violent. Protests give voice; they shouldn’t be silenced.” I self-declared Development Journalist agree with Ms Ressa 100% – but I can see that with her Nobel Peace Prize attitude, she is helping advance the cause/s of protests but not of progresses  – I mean, where do we go from here to be in pursuit of the good of all and not simply to be anti ? (I’m calling the attention of the Nob...
