In Chennai, solve a puzzle and learn about astronomy as Science at the Sabha returns

All through the year, the campus of Institute of Mathematical Sciences in Chennai’s Taramani sees young school-going students attempting to improve their scientific acumen by trying their hand at experiments. Back in 2016, professors Raghavan and Gautam Menon were discussing how India lacked an ‘open Science day’ where the public could freely access the country’s top institutions and understand their inner workings. Ahead of National Science day that year, the institution decided to throw their resources open to the public and organise lectures that make complex scientific questions accessible for rumination. There will also be sessions on understanding the dynamic nature of the North Indian Ocean by D Shankar, chief scientist at CSIR-National Institute of Oceanography; on an update to the frequently used adage: Reduce-Reuse-Recycle-Reinvent with respect to plastics by S Ramakrishnan, professor, Indian Institute of Science; and on a wide-ranging scientific output on astronomy from India by Annapurni Subramaniam, director of the Indian Institute of Astrophysics.
