In an interview with the Communications Bureau, Papa said the awards came as a surprise, as she was 鈥渘ever informed of the nominations.鈥� Instead, the selection by RFS was done among female scientists worldwide.

Papa, a Microbiology professor at the College of Science and the Graduate School, specializes in bacterial viruses or bacteriophages. In the professional circles, she was the former President of the Philippine Society of Microbiology. She has also won awards, such as the National Academy of Science and Technology Outstanding Scientific Paper for her work on Salmonella treatment. In 2023, she joined international experts for the very first hands-on Bacteriophage Workshop in Southeast Asia. At the moment, she is working on phage therapy as an alternative to antibiotics given the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Papa acknowledged the support of her family, her mentors Prof. Irineo J. Dogma, Jr., Dr. Hans Ackermann, and her students.

A Cooperation between Dominican Institutions in Manila, Ibadan, and Fribourg

Sex and Gender have become fluid categories 鈥� as never in the history of mankind before. What are the scientific backgrounds, and what are the consequences for theology? What do these developments mean for a global player like the Catholic Church? We shall discuss the different (and/or similar?) perspectives with researchers and students from the Dominican Universities in Manila and Ibadan and the Faculty of Theology in Fribourg, which is coined by the Dominican spirit.

The 4th CoMIF is scheduled on April 12, 2024, Friday (2:00 – 6:00 pm, Manila / 8:00am – 12:00nn Fribourg and Ibadan). The CoMIF (or Collaboration of Manila, Ibadan and Fribourg) is an informal collaborative arrangement initiated by academic staff from the 探花精选 (Manila), Dominican University (Ibadan), and the Faculty of Theology of the University of Fribourg (Fribourg).

Event Description

Secularisation seemed to be a temporary phenomenon. The fact that a larger number of people did not belong to any religious community, as in the Soviet Union or other communist countries, could be considered a phenomenon of the past after 1989. But sociological data suggest a different development: the number of “nons”, of people who do not belong to any religious community or see themselves as agnostics or atheists, is relatively stable 鈥� and their number is growing. And the conviction that this is a phenomenon only in Western countries, seems to be weakly substantiated either. Especially if 鈥� for example 鈥� this decline is related to general individualisation, one has to discuss whether such developments could then also increase outside Western countries.

We will explore these questions in the transcontinental workshop on the “nons”. On the one hand, the discussion will be about perceiving and interpreting developments in the sociology of religion in three countries: the Philippines, Nigeria and Switzerland. Then we will explore the fundamental question of whether these secularisation processes are regional or global developments. Fundamental assessments of the worldwide development of religions and their social significance depend on the answer to this question.

The event is also part of a programme of research on Global Catholicism, which is the largest single religious community in the world, but widely poorly researched.
