The collaborative dinner with Philippine-Turkish counterparts at Camiña Balay nga Bato was a truly productive and enriching experience. Dr. Romulo de Castro kicked off the presentations, showcasing CFI’s latest research findings, innovative ideas, and successful projects. The Turkish collaborators presented their own research findings, highlighted their unique methodologies, and discussed the positive outcomes of their collaborative efforts thus far. The discussion that followed was dynamic and constructive, as they brainstormed potential areas of future collaboration and identified shared goals. The evening ended on a positive note, with a renewed commitment to continue working together towards the team’s shared objectives. The collaborative dinner at Camiña Balay nga Bato was a testament to the power of cross-cultural collaboration, as it transcended borders and brought together diverse perspectives.
 Let's watch Dr. Pia Zamora-Rico of Center for Informatics (CFI) and Miss Lucy Lazo of World Association for Psycho Social Rehabilitation (WAPR) talk about raising the awareness and understanding about the issue of mental health in the Philippines through BSC Multimedia Services.
 Two of CFI's active researchers in health AI discuss their work and lessons derived from joining an international competition where they both received bronze medals.
 For this CFI Talks session the CFI, in collaboration with the National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) and Negros Oriental Rehabilitation Foundation, Inc. (NORFI), invited Dr. Bernd Moosmann, Professor of Physiological Chemistry at Johannes Gutenberg University and a winner of the Oskar Fischer Prize, to lecture on a synthesis of various lines of evidence pointing to chronic excitatory insufficiency as the cause of Alzheimer's Disease.
 Monitoring changes in fish density and biomass inside marine protected areas (MPAs) through fish visual census (FVC) can determine if MPAs are achieving their goal of promoting fish population recovery. Simplified FVC methods have been developed for citizen scientists to enable them to monitor fish populations in MPAs. However, MPA monitoring programs led by local stakeholders remain rare and difficult to sustain due to technical barriers related to FVC data management. Here, we describe and evaluate a novel online app called MPA-FishMApp, which we developed to help stakeholders of MPAs that protect coral reefs in the Philippines efficiently store, analyze, and visualize FVC data.
