Friendship with Science is a
Friendship with Science is a series of fun conversations about science happening in India but relevant universally, as all good science is! These conversations cover deep and broad ideas of science, from atoms to genes, from the sun to making science toys at home, from tiger counting using genetic tools to lake health in Bangalore and much much more. The conversations move seamlessly across disciplinary boundaries, across scales and times, they are about physics, they are about biology, they are about chemistry, they are about mathematics, they are about how science is done, they are about how scientists think, they are about how scientists communicate, they are about how scientists chill and how they don't. In short, they are about making friendship with science!
This episode is with Professor K Sridhar, a Physicist and Professor at the Azim Premji University in Bangalore. Prof Sridhar got his BSc and PhD in Mumbai after which he spent years in London and Geneva at the CERN. Years later he came back and started as a faculty member with TIFR, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai. Sridhar has made deep contributions in the broad area of theoretical high energy physics and in addition to his stint at TIFR, he holds many positions across the world in Paris, London, the CERN and so on. He has written a book in theoretical energy physics called "Particle Physics of Brane Worlds and Extra Dimensions", published by Cambridge University Press. Sridhar's personality and contributions don't quite end there. He is also a novelist and has written a very interesting book called "Twice Written" based on Bombay and has an even more interesting book, "Ajita", coming up. Keep an eye out for that.
Taking the conversation up with Prof. Sridhar are Shashi Thutupalli, who may or may not be a scientist and Biswa Kalyan Rath, who is definitely not a comedian!
