Random Walks: A Story about Jinky Bornales

160.00

The Women of Science series of children’s books features stories from the careers of some of the Philippines’ most respected female scientists. It is hoped that these stories find their way into the hearts and minds of our young girls in particular, to spark in them the curiosity and wonder that may lead them to becoming women of science themselves. This series was made possible by the National Book Development Board through its National Book Development Trust Fund Program and its subcommittee on Gender Studies.

Description

Written by Didith T. Rodrigo​
Illustrated by Jonathan Rañola III

Dr. Jinky Bornales, presently the vice chancellor for Research and Extension at the Mindanao State University – Iligan Insitute of Technology, found herself searching for her place in the scientific sun and ended up in the wonderful field of Physics. She teaches and mentors many young, aspiring scientists because she worries about the shortage of women in the field. To teachers and parents she says, “We have to stimulate children’s curiosity. Don’t confine them to a single way of looking at things.” She specializes in white noise path integrals and their applications to physical systems. ​
