In this clip from our conversation with Prof. Abhay Ashtekar — one of the founders of LQG — I asked him exactly that: 👉 If you could tell Einstein about the latest developments in quantum gravity, what do you think would excite him the most? youtu.be/fO-KOeEZwI4
On this day, 24-year-old Clyde Tombaugh at the Lowell Observatory discovered Pluto! By comparing photographic plates, he spotted the tiny "Planet X" that had eluded astronomers for decades. Whether you call it a planet or a dwarf planet, it remains our favorite icy underdog. 🔭✨ 📸: Pretzelpaws via Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 3.0) #Astronomy #PlutoDay #SpaceExploration #ScienceHistory
We had a privilege to interview Prof. Sujatha Ramdorai as a part of 'My life in Mathematics' series. Watch the inspiring audio interview here: youtu.be/g4QFd_2nIX8 #interview #mathematicians #mathematics
In the latest episode of "My Life in Science," Prof. Anirban Pathak (@anirbanpathak) breaks down the reality of Photonic Quantum Information and the future of Quantum Cryptography. We discuss: 🇮🇳 The National Quantum Mission & the goal to build a photonic quantum computer in India. 🎲 Why Quantum Random Number Generators are changing everything (even casinos!). 🚧 The challenge of Error Correction. 👨🏫 His journey from student to mentor.

From a childhood in Hubli to becoming a pioneering astrophysicist and helping build @IUCAApune from its inception—Prof. Ajit Kembhavi’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. In this episode of My Life in Science, we discuss his early days at @TIFRScience, his work with Prof. Jayant Narlikar, and the moment he almost chose an MBA over Astrophysics! 🔭 Watch the full interview on Intellectual Rigour here: youtu.be/9RXpXVpS5Z4 #Astrophysics #IndianScience #ScienceHistory #MyLifeInScience #IntellectualRigour #IUCAA #TIFR
When I told my parents I wanted to be a physicist, they said: "Are you aware your friends in engineering will make 10x your salary? Are you okay with that?" My father's advice wasn't to "follow your passion." It was to "take a calculated risk". A powerful story about making big life choices.

We are truly honoured to host Professor Atish Dabholkar on "My Life in Science." From a small village in Maharashtra to the epicenter of string theory at Princeton, he shares his remarkable journey. We discuss his breakthroughs on black holes and his vital work continuing Abdus Salam's legacy as the Director of ICTP. This was a deep privilege.

Today marks the birthday of visionary scientist, Frederick Soddy. His profound insights into radioactivity and isotopes laid the groundwork for nuclear science and countless technological advancements. Let's celebrate his incredible contributions to our understanding of the universe! #FrederickSoddy #ScienceHistory #Isotopes #Radioactivity #Discovery #OnThisDay
@LIGOIndia Prof. Souradeep's path was far from conventional. He grew up in a "very organic" environment as the son of a famous cartoonist. His story is a masterclass in following one's curiosity over a pre-defined path.
This 2 hour conversation traces his incredible journey from #engineering to #cosmology and his pivotal role in building @LIGOIndia
At Intellectual Rigour, we had the profound honor of speaking with Prof. Tarun Souradeep, Director of the Raman Research Institute (@RRRI_Bangalore), for our "My Life in Science" series. Link: youtu.be/zkKTl3P1Dcs
"It's important to have inner confidence, even though the rest of the world doesn't place that confidence in you". Powerful life advice from world-renowned physicist Prof. Abhay Ashtekar on our latest episode. Don't miss his full story. youtu.be/fGWash8hMAg?si… via @YouTube
