A talk on 'Science as a way of life' by PB Prince Gajendra Babu

About the Talk
National Scientific Temper Day (NSTD) is observed every year on 20 August, 2024 to commemorate Dr Narendra Dabholkar, the noted rationalist and anti-superstition crusader, who was assassinated in 2013. On this occasion, Krea University is organising a seminar by PB Prince Gajendra Babu on Science as a Way of Life. The talk will explore how life would change if we adopted Science as a way of life. It will also examine the Constitutional vision of establishing a modern democratic nation, highlighting where and how we have fallen short of achieving this goal. Additionally, the discussion will differentiate between Science as a subject and Science as a way of life, addressing the challenges ahead and expressing hope in our nation's youth.
