Saying it with Science

What is common to chaos theory, consciousness, social choice theory, ground water quality, real-time mathematical simulation, mixed traffic flow, herbal nano-medicine and bio-inspired material science? Well, all these and ‘everything under the sun in the name of Science’ take turns to get discussed threadbare at the Science Club, every second Saturday of the month. However, the Science Club has been going strong for over 12 years,” says M. R. Sridharan, the current convener of the club and a senior principal scientist at the Central Leather Research Institute. Confluence of ideas The Science Club is the brainchild of Dr. T Ramasami, a former director of CLRI and present secretary to the Government of India’s Department of Science and Technology. Science Club sessions happen at one of these venues - the CLRI campus, Institute of Mathematical Sciences, the IITM campus, and the CAS campus at Anna University, and the directors of these institutes happen to be patrons of the club.
