About the author
Queena N. Lee-Chua
27 books11 followers“In this millennium, science literacy is paramount to remain competitive in the global arena. All channels of creative and interesting science communication need to be harnessed for Filipinos to achieve technological understanding and appreciation.”
Lee-Chua, in her own words, best describes her passion to share and spread the value of understanding science both inside and outside the lecture hall. Numerous books, articles, lectures, columns, and other communication tools in her name mirror a vastly creative and disciplined persona.
Born on April 13, 1966, Lee-Chua’s list of accomplishments and activities stretches out to prolific frontier. She has written science and math books, a newspaper column, and teaches both subjects to students, parents, media, and practically everybody else. But she remains consistent in her goal to make science and math learning “fun” through “simpler, more understandable language.” She brings the “fun” to print, radio, TV, online, and interpersonal audiences.
Lee-Chua earned her college education [BS Math, summa cum laude, 1987], graduate [MA in Counseling Psychology, 1992], and post-graduate [PhD in Clinical Psychology, 1995] at the Ateneo de Manila University.
She is currently full professor at the Mathematics Department of ADMU. Among her numerous awards are The Outstanding Women in the Nation’s Service [2001], Outstanding Young Scientist [National Academy of Science and Technology, 2002], First Multiple Intelligence Award [Dr. Howard Gardner, Multiple Intelligence International School Foundation, Inc., 2005], Outstanding Teacher Award [Metrobank Foundation, 2003], National Book Award for Science [2003], Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards for Literature [1st place, English Essay, 2001], S&T Journalism Awards [Philippine Press Institute-Philippine Geothermal Inc., 1992], and DOST-Best S&T Columnist, special citation [2005].
