    E13: Prof. H.C. Verma - Education

    In this episode, the hosts of Inquisitio are joined by H.C. Verma, experimental nuclear physicist and professor emeritus of the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur.  Prof. H.C. Verma is a leading figure in outreach, especially in physics. He has created several hundred low-cost physicist experiments and has made several efforts on releasing courses online for students as well. In 2011, he set up the National Anveshika Network of India (NANI), a flagship programme of the Indian Association of Physics Teachers (IAPT), of which he is the national co-ordinator. For his contributions to outreach in India, he has been awarded the Padma Shree, one of the highest civilian honours, in 2020. He is well known for his work in work in authoring and publishing textbooks, the most popular being his volumes of "Concepts of Physics".  To find more about Prof. H.C. Verma- Website: https://hcverma.inWikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._C._Verma In this episode, we discuss both education and Prof. H.C. Verma's journey.

    E10.2: Prof. Urjit Yajnik- Navigating Research & Philosophy of Science

    In this episode, we are joined by Prof. Urjit Yajnik- theoretical physicist from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay.  Prof Urjit Yajnik, after finishing his Master’s at IIT-Bombay, joined the Weinberg Theory group at UT Austin after studying elementary particles as part of his PhD. He has been teaching at IIT-Bombay for over 30 years, during which time he has held numerous administrative positions there and has had affiliations with leading institutions around the world.  His research interests include Cosmology, Grand Unification Theories, and High Energy Physics. Currently, he is working on Supersymmetry and the Dark Sector- dark matter and dark energy.  This conversation is highly informative not only for anyone looking to enter Physics but also for those interested in learning more about the discoveries that we, as a species, make at the frontier of human knowledge.
