"Immunation"

Immunation.. What ideas do enter our minds when we hear the word “immunation”? It’s hard to explain because it can’t be found in the dictionary but all I know about this is, it’s all about SCIENCE!

                In the month of September, the Science Club Month Celebration is celebrated. This year 2014, the theme for the National Science Club Month is “IMMUNATION: Arming Science Clubbers with Healthful Defenses towards National Wellness.” When hearing this theme, it’s very hard to understand. But when you think and understand it deeper, you will get the point and ideas from it. The theme is according to a post on the official Facebook page of the Philippine Society of Youth Science Clubs (PSYSC). The group explained the rationale behind the theme as follows:

“It is a play on words on ammunition and immunization. We would like our science clubbers to be armed/ to be immune against diseases through imparting knowledge about disease, how they spread, etc. Our goal is not only the science clubbers that benefit from this knowledge but also their school and communities and thus leading to national wellness.”

  So as we celebrate the National Science Club Month this September 2014, let us work hard hand in hand altogether so that we can aim our goal for it and what we wish for Science.
