Atom Araullo reveals he originally wanted to become a scientist
Published May 6, 2021 5:26pm Growing up, Atom Araullo did not dream of being a journalist. In fact, he wanted to become a scientist. In an episode of “The Howie Severino Podcast,” Atom revealed that although he studied applied physics in college, he eventually became a journalist. Atom said he had always been fascinated with science as a child, even in Grade 3 when he became one of the young reporters on the renowned kids’ television show “5 and Up.” “Maybe it had something to do with all of the books that were at home. Not just children’s books, adventure books, but also encyclopedias and some magazines [that] we were freely able to read when I was a kid, me and my sister,” he said.
