Onset of a Scientist’s Career

Are scientists born or made? Or are they born to be made?

That was the introduction of an article titled "The Making of a Scientist" from the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) magazine. It talks of the interview of Framelia V. Anomas, an S & T Media Service, to the four women scientists.

Our scientific potential and interest can be triggered about by anything. Be it observations in our surroundings, articles from different books and magazines, people surrounding and influencing us or daily events happening in our life.

n addition, one needs not be very studious, consistently having high grades and qualifying in the honor roll, nor be an urbanite to become a scientist. In fact, anyone can! This is true as long as one possesses scientific skills such as good oral and communication skills and analytical and critical skills and qualities such as curiosity, keen observation, objectivity and open-mindedness. However, one should not forget his values --- patience, perseverance, integrity and honesty.

Furthermore, one’s skills can be developed and improved through experience such as working as a research assistant and as a consultant and conducting and supervising more researches.

The goal and objective in research should primarily be to help our country and its citizens. Hence, researches should be conducted for the improvement of life and not for its deterioration. They can result to new product, new device, new process or new procedure that will benefit humankind.

On the other hand, the perception that there is no money in being a scientist should be discarded. This is a lie! As a scientist, one can apply his knowledge and skills in putting up a business. Also, one can share his knowledge and be paid as a research consultant or can travel to many places for free during seminars and forums, in which he is a guest speaker. Moreover, he can gain money from the profits of the device that he had developed.

Abstract

This study was conducted to test the feasibility of the growth of the plant in terms terms of tissue culture, callus formation specifically. From the original Murashige and Skoog Basal Medium, it was modified and three other treatments were made labelled as T1, T2, T3 and T4 for the controlled set-up. Treatments varied in the concentraation of cytokinins 6-benzyladinine(BA), and auxins 1-Napthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 1H-indole-3-butyric acid (IBA).

Half of the treatments were placed inside the dark room and the other half exposed to sunlight during the day and artificial light at night. The set-ups were set under observation for a total of 56 days and observations were made every after 2 weeks. Results showed that among all the four treatments observed, T2 had the best performance in terms of callus initiation. It produced the biggest callus among all in both the light and dark conditions followed by T1, T4 and T3, respectively. Based on the findings, T2 is the best among all the treatments in growing of explants.
