From heartbreak healing to Zambales students' science engagement, these science tales will leave you amazed!

In the world of academia, a peculiar trend has emerged where scientists are contemplating reducing their research to combat carbon emissions. However, scaling down science may not be the ultimate solution to saving the planet. On a more personal note, science has revealed that heartbreak goes beyond emotional pain, impacting our brains and immune systems. Could science possibly hold the key to healing a broken heart? The intersection of science and fiction becomes apparent in 'Collision: Stories from the Science of CERN,' an anthology that creatively blends scientific concepts with imaginative storytelling. Editors Connie Potter and Rob Appleby delve into the fascinating fusion of science and fiction.

Furthermore, the open-science movement aims to encourage researchers to share laboratory materials for greater collaboration. How can this philosophy be effectively implemented to enhance the sharing culture in the scientific community? Pushing the boundaries of approachability, the 'Curiosity' series offers a glimpse into the vibrant world of science through the lens of Erin Adams' lab at the University of Chicago. Myriad scientific wonders await those who dare to embark on a journey of curiosity and exploration.

Ending on a noteworthy revelation, the DOST engages students in Zambales with a mobile science centrum, fostering a love for science and technology in young minds. Additionally, the Knight Science Journalism at MIT program recognizes outstanding local journalists' contributions to science reporting, highlighting the importance of science communication in today's society.
