Study Notes
Bioremediation in Marinduque
- Dr. Nelly Aggangan, a UP Los Baños-based researcher, has developed a new method of bioremediation to restore degraded mining sites in Marinduque.
- Bioremediation uses microorganisms to clean up contaminated sites, and is normally employed to address environmental pollution caused by heavy and toxic metals through mining and other metallurgical processes.
- The soil in the 32-hectare mined dumpsite in Mogpog, Marinduque was nutrient-depleted, but Dr. Aggangan found that trees such as narra, acacia, and eucalyptus could thrive with the presence of beneficial fungi and bacteria.
Sigmund Freud
- Sigmund Freud was an Austrian scientist regarded as the “Father of Psychoanalysis,” which is a study of theories and techniques employed to uncover the unconscious mind.
