In the Philippines, the love for science – for knowledge – is in a dire state.
People nowadays seem ready to dismiss scientific pursuits as merely “secondary” concerns in the face of societal problems (that said pursuits can actually solve). Smart-shaming has become prevalent on social media, and there’s an apparent wave of anti-intelligent, anti-science behavior that’s observable not just here, but all over the world.
We decided to do something about it. Thus, FlipScience was born.
FlipScience is a Filipino-owned, science-centric online news and features portal established specifically with the Pinoy audience in mind. Our vision for the site is threefold:
(1) to help curb the spread of misinformation and “alternative facts” through witty, well-written, engaging, and carefully researched science articles;
(2) to inspire a new generation of science practitioners to combat the “brain drain” that currently plagues the country; and
(3) to provide a platform for seasoned and aspiring writers alike to pursue science journalism, thereby helping to transform science journalism in the Philippines into a viable career track.
It is our hope that FlipScience’s existence could someday inspire even just one student to take up a science-related course and become one of the 19,000 science practitioners that this country currently needs, or even just one writer to pursue the painfully underdeveloped field of science journalism in the Philippines.
More than just becoming a platform for world-class science reporting for Filipino audiences, FlipScience aims to become an institution that can truly make a tangible, long-term difference in Philippine society.
