Abstract

Scientific communication plays a vital role in increasing public understanding and acceptance of cutting-edge technologies related to environmental sustainability. This qualitative case study examines the OneLab electron beam (e-beam) awareness seminar and environmental tree planting activity conducted on 11–12 March 2025 in Aklan, Philippines. Participants included N = 48 individuals composed of teachers (n=20), students (n=10), local government unit officials (n=6), clergy/faith-based leaders (n=3), scientists/technical staff (n=5), community members (n=4). Data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, and analyzed using thematic coding. Findings indicate increased understanding and acceptance of e-beam technology, strengthened environmental ethics through experiential learning, and enhanced multi-sectoral collaboration. The study demonstrates that contextual science communication combined with participatory environmental action can translate advanced scientific knowledge into locally grounded practice.
