    Study Notes

    Module 5: Environmental Awareness

    • The Philippines is prone to environmental problems due to its topography, population, and economic status.
    • The country's location west of the Pacific Ocean makes it susceptible to storms and typhoons, which are exacerbated by global warming.
    • Climate change is a global problem that affects people of all backgrounds.

    Module 6: Energy Crisis

    • The Bataan Nuclear Power Plant is a notable energy-related site in the Philippines.
    • The 1970s saw the first day of gas rationing in California, marking a significant event in the energy crisis.

    Module 7: The Information Age

    • The pandemic accelerated scientific collaboration and innovation, leading to the creation of big scientific databases and knowledge repositories.
    • Digital technology played a crucial role in pandemic preparedness and response, as seen in Figure 7.1.
    • The pandemic spurred scientists from different disciplines to work together, resulting in important achievements such as the vaccine against SARS-CoV-2.

    Module 8: Gene

    • A gene is a fundamental unit of heredity in living organisms.
    • Gene therapy is a medical treatment that uses genes to prevent or treat diseases, and is distinct from stem cell therapy.
    • Wilhelm Johannsen is a notable figure in the history of genetics.
    • Gene therapy has the potential to revolutionize medical treatment in the future.
    • Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) have significant implications for the environment and human health.
