Nuclear STEM VIBE: DOST-PNRI at the National Youth Science, Technology, and Innovation Festival (NYSTIF)
It’s another year of atoms driving the STEM vibing as high school and college students visit the booths of the DOST - Philippine Nuclear Research Institute at the 2nd National Youth Science, Technology, and Innovation Festival (NYSTIF) from September 18 to 21, 2024 at the Philippine International Convention Center!
DOST-PNRI's young nuclear researchers demonstrated several radiation applications geared towards providing solutions for economic growth. The future scientists, engineers and professionals were shown live how profuse bleeding can be effectively and quickly controlled using radiation-processed hemostats, which is very vital in emergency and medical settings.
