WE LOVE SCIENCE HERE BECAUSE IT IS A MANY SPLENDOURED THING
THIS IS A WAR ZONE WHERE SCIENCE FIGHTS WITH NONSENSE AND WINS
“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.”
"Being a scientist is a state of mind, not a profession!"
"Science, when it's done right, can yield amazing things".
The Reach of Scientific Research From Labs to Laymen
The aim of science is not only to open a door to infinite knowledge and wisdom but to set a limit to infinite error.
"Knowledge is a Superpower but the irony is you cannot get enough of it with ever increasing data base unless you try to keep up with it constantly and in the right way!" The best education comes from learning from people who know what they are exactly talking about.
Science is this glorious adventure into the unknown, the opportunity to discover things that nobody knew before. And that’s just an experience that’s not to be missed. But it’s also a motivated effort to try to help humankind. And maybe that’s just by increasing human knowledge—because that’s a way to make us a nobler species.
If you are scientifically literate the world looks very different to you.
We do science and science communication not because they are easy but because they are difficult!
“Science is not a subject you studied in school. It’s life. We 're brought into existence by it!"

The very certainty that science progresses with time should be the basis for trust, not the other way round.

Women in science: The 'Women in Science' Panel of the Indian Academy of Sciences, in association with the French Embassy in India and the Indo-French Centre for the Promotion of Advanced Research (CEFIPRA), is organizing a three-day seminar to highlight the scientific contributions of women in Collaborative Indo-French Projects. This seminar will be held at the Faculty Hall in IISc, Bangalore from 3 to 5 February 2015. Besides the plenary sessions with eminent women researchers, there will be a poster session for women PhD students and postdoc researchers in the field of health, life sciences, physical and mathematical sciences. The two best posters will be selected for presentation at the main seminar and participation grants will be available for out of station participants if the poster is selected. Please inform your colleagues . The last date for submitting the poster is 9 January 2015.
