Nuclear experts take the lead at Women’s Month media forum
It's really time for women to take the lead in nuclear, and the Department of Science and Technology - Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (DOST-PNRI) does not disappoint as its scientists and researchers are featured during a media forum organized by Alpas Pinas this March 7, 2025, early this Women's Month.
Exhorting the next generation of women to "trust our wings when the right time comes", PNRI Deputy Director Dr. Vallerie Samson (left), Dr. Aileen Mendoza of the Chemistry Research Section (center) and Irradiation Services Section Head Ms. Haydee Solomon (right) shared their challenges, opportunities, inspiring stories as "Women in Nuclear" among members of the media and student attendees.
The participants later toured the facilities of PNRI, including its irradiation facilities for processing food and industrial products, and its centralized radioactive waste management facility.
