		<description><![CDATA[Imagination is both a friend and a foe of science. It is a foe in the sense that it tends to be unrealistic, illogical and anti-scientific.

What science does is to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If there ever is a God, he is probably hiding himself sufficiently enough so that our innate insatiable curiosity may lead us to investigate how he made the universe, the galaxies, the stars, the planets and life. The excitement will be ruined if he&#8217;d just appear and say, &#8220;hey! stop thinking about it, I made everything&#8221;.

		<description><![CDATA[It seems that humans are hardwired to make some sense of life or to have some meaning. Science and religion both agree on this goal, which is to come up with meaningful models to understand everything. These two spheres of human exploration fulfill our deepest longing to make sense of the world. The only difference [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Until the mid-seventies, the scientific productivity of the Philippines was comparable to that of Thailand and Malaysia and a little better over Indonesia. More than 40 years later, the overall productivity of Filipino scientists (i.e. those working in the Philippines) has gone far below the remarkable outputs of Thailand and Malaysia. As of the last [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago, a close friend asked me several very abstract questions. I thought of this myself even before that very interesting conversation. In fact,  I have been in a lifetime struggle to answer these great questions and to find meaning in this existence, if there's any. Brace yourself...because this is going to be heavily nerdy. I am speaking to myself here. This is more of a self reflection on how I tackle the greatest and age-old philosophical questions.]]></description>
