We are keenly interested in communicating our science as well as science in general, to a wider audience.

OUTREACH

We encourage interactions with schools, colleges and popular science forums, and over time we will aim to periodically put up short pieces describing interesting pieces of work using non-technical language on our website. Please see the list below to access written, audio and video content from the lab related to science popularization. These are mostly in English but also in Kannada. We particularly encourage attempting communication in other regional languages, it’s a great way to get more comfortable communicating science in your native spoken languages while also reaching out a to a large non English speaking audience in our country. You may also discover unexpected skills!
