The Tamil Nadu Science Forum recently organized a captivating lecture on the evolution of the universe, based on the standard model theory. The lecture emphasized on how particles such as quarks (protons and neutrons) and leptons (electrons) make up all known matter. Prafulla Kumar Behera, a physics professor from IIT-M, was the guest speaker at the event held at the Anna Centenary Library in Kotturpuram. He discussed Peter W Higgs’ theoretical discovery and its impact on shaping the future of high energy physics and technological advancements in building accelerators like large hadron colliders and detectors like ATLAS that can identify particle properties. This event is part of the weekly science lectures organized by the forum, both online and offline.
Aside from this lecture, the science forum has been actively publishing articles on various topics in recent times. One such article discusses what aspiring lecturers can expect after the KSET 2024 results are announced. Another article covers the KSET results declared by KEA, providing information on qualifying marks, eligibility certificates for Assistant Professor positions, and more. There is also an article highlighting Vellore Institute of Technology’s MSc in Data Science program, which bridges skill gaps, offers diverse career opportunities, and provides online upskilling with expert faculty.
Despite April’s scorching heatwave, special events at Kolkata’s Science City and BITM drew record footfall. BITM’s successful programs and student interest contributed to increased visitors, while Science City’s AC galleries and Voyager movie viewing experience were popular among crowds. This demonstrates continued interest in science and education despite challenging weather conditions.
In addition to its weekly lectures series, Tamil Nadu Science Forum also published several articles that catered to different audiences within recent weeks.
For those interested in pursuing a career in teaching after KSET 2024 results are announced, an article highlights what aspiring lecturers can expect after their exams.
Another article covered KEA’s recent declaration of KSET results which included information on qualifying marks for Assistant Professor positions as well as eligibility certificates required for these positions.
Lastly, an article highlighted Vellore Institute of Technology’s MSc program in Data Science which bridges skill gaps while offering diverse career opportunities with expert faculty through online upskilling options.
Despite extreme heatwaves during April 2023, special events held at Kolkata’s Science City attracted record footfall due to successful programs offered by BITM along with student interest towards them. Meanwhile Science City’s air-conditioned galleries were popular among crowds who enjoyed watching movies like Voyager at their movie viewing experience.
This shows that there is continued interest in science education despite challenging weather conditions that affect many parts of India during certain periods of time.
