Author's note: This was a moving, personal reflection from last week's first networking mixer with the Filipino Entrepreneurs Network (FEN).

Senator Edgardo J. Angara urged the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) to direct their research projects toward solving key challenges facing the country today, such as disaster mitigation and food security. Angara called for a more relevant DOST during a discussion forum today hosted by the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) and the DOST.
