The Philippines - Mr Science becomes the travelling scientist

This podcast is a 30 minute feature on the Philippines, containing recordings made during my recent two weeks in the Philippines, as well as a little Pinoy music. We investigate serious, and not-so-serious, Philippino scientific topics through interviews with Philippinos and ex-pats, and my own musings. Some of the topics covered are: 1. Scientific Philippino facts (i.e. 80% of the world's tropical fish come from the Philippines) 2. Our trek to the world's longest navigatable underground river on the island of Pelawan 3. The role science in the developing world 4. How science and analysis can inform developing world governments 5. Balut - boiled chicken embryo still in the egg 6. Speech therapy in the Philippines 7. Pollution, rabies, immunisation 8. Strange Philippino fruits I hope it is entertaining as well as scientific, so please email me ([email protected]) or leave comments on the website (www.mrscienceshow.com) if you have any thoughts, and let me know if the longer features are a good idea. I do them for special occasions - next up is a feature on India, so stayed tuned.
