THE FILIPINO BIOLOGY TEACHER

When I first read her story in the book “In Love with Science” which she herself edited, I got interested with her.

I didn’t know exactly where and when did the name become familiar but for sure it was about a certain article, half sure whether it was on-line or in the dailies. But I bumped on her name a couple of times already in science news/columns in the internet, which she authored. Her name was also mentioned in a valedictory address of a girl I dreamed to meet: the extraordinary gifted blind Filipina, Roselle Ambubuyog.
