As we all now, we celebrate the Science Festival every September of the year. Naturally it depicts the use of Science to further help our nation and actually aims to include us youth nowadays as well. This year's theme is about, "IMMUNATION: Arming Science Clubbers with Healthful Defenses towards National Wellness."

       The group PSYC, explained the rational of the theme which is about how it is a play on words on ammunition and immunization. They wanted science clubbers to be armed/ to be immune against diseases through imparting knowledge about disease, how they spread, etc and they aimed not only the science clubbers that benefit from this knowledge but also their school and communities and thus leading to national wellness.

       Even with the explanation, one could say how difficult it must be to internalize and truly understand the theme. But upon reading between the lines, I found quite easier to understand, and I found what simple but heavy meaning it ought to impart to all of us.

In verbatim, ammunition means a material for use in attacking or defending a position, while immunization is to give (someone) a vaccine to prevent infection by a disease. Ostensibly, when we further play with words, we could conjur something like immunity defense or screen immunity and whatnot. The main point is, with the two of them combined, the meaning in actuality deepens and for the lack of better words levels up. To have words like arming, defenses, and natural wellness backing it up, it wouldn't be too hard to come up with a deduction that the message behind the theme is all about guarding, fighting and living life the best way we can.
