"As I very much liked to draw and paint as a child, I entered a special art program in high school, which was very much like being in an art school imbedded in a regular high school curriculum. While I always had some interest in science, I developed a strong interest in physics when I was in high school as a result of reading a short book entitled Relativity, by Einstein. It opened a new vista for me and deepened my curiosity about the physical world."
These are the revealation of Prof. Jerome Friedman who delievered a inspiring lecture on second day of the Nobel Conclave meet here in IIIT Allahabad.
He was key person in a research team which in a series of investigations found clear signs and traces of therotically proved existence of an inner structure in the protons and neutrons of the atomic nucleus For more details kindly go to http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1990/press.html.
In a really interactuive and friendly way unlike to the most of the scientists who find it difficult to convey the complex research findings in easy way, he really mastered the articulation of the understanding of the fundamental principles in simplest way. (The discussion regarding this has been done in Scientists Must Speak: Bringing Presentations to Life(Routledge)by D. Eric Walters and Gale C. Walters. Friedman urged the new emerging students to work on the fundamental questions raised by his reaserch.
There was a rare dissert for students where five nobel laurets were present on the dias...Answering a question related to what kind of model for science communication must be adopted, other veteran scientists were equivocal about creating more and more centre of excellence and retaining the best tallent of the country by facilitatiing the finest of the infrastructure and facilities.
One student identified the the bone entangled in the throat of the polcymakers: Why talented students are running away from the fundamental research area to other streams? Yesterday
Questions about why we cannot tap the most of the somlar energy was also very very urgent in the all of the agenda across continents.
The personal biographies of the scientists can tell us lot of about the reasons of discovery, progress...
Research Managers must know the technology. Unless and untill they know the techniques and mechanism to work out perticular process you cannot lead a successful innovation. This was the reply from one Nobel Laurete to the wise question that how ideas are transformed to innovation.
Students asked all the scientists their worst moments of their life. One scientist said that he was on the verge of making suicide because his paper was not published in Nature for five years. This paper eventually turned out to be driving force for him to recieve Nobel.
Yesterday gudiing the Physics studnets Dr. Claude Cohen-Tannoudji (Winner 1997) was answering to one innocent but wise question how we can make research interesting. There he said interest will come if we really do it for the sake of science and not for the sake of any rewards.
