I will discuss in this talk why it is essential to have equity and inclusion in the practice of science and how it benefits science as well. I will specialise to some extent, to case of Gender inequity. I will then review the Equity and Inclusion discussions in the Science, Technology and Innovation Policy released recently - STIP-2020 and the measures suggested therein. I will end by commenting what all of us,
individuals, institutions and society can do in this context.
Using the language of game theory, we explore how individual responses to public health measures for containing pandemics constrain their effectiveness. Even when the benfits of such measures - which may involve vaccination or non-pharmaceutical interventions such as quarantining or mask-wearing - may appear obvious, individuals upon weighing the risk of infection against the cost(s) of adopting such measures, may decide not to conform. Not surprisingly, the course of the epidemic will itself depend on the collective aggregate of such individual decisions, with less-than-complete
adherence bringing about multiple resurgences of the epidemic.
The 2021 Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded "for groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of complex system". One half of the prize is awarded to Giorgio Parisi, for discovering hidden patterns in disordered complex materials. This first half of this talk will discuss these findings and how they have permeated to understand other physical problems and phenomena in other scientific domains.
The other half of the prize is shared by Syukuro Manbe and Klaus Hasselmann for their contributions to the physics of climate science, a specific complex system, in another scientific domain, namely the Earths climate. The second part of the talk will outline the historical evolution of ideas and discoveries in climate physics and attempt to describe the significance of their contributions in this context.
Physical Sciences: Synergy with Mathematics: 21 October 2021
IMSc Distinguished Lecture (part of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav)
Prof. R. Chidambaram (DAE Homi Bhabha Chair Professor; Former Principal Scientific Adviser, GoI; Former Chairman, Atomic Energy Commission & Secretary, DAE)
Physical Sciences and Mathematics are very closely linked, from high energy physics to condensed matter physics and chemistry. Mathematics is used widely in other areas like nuclear reactor design, artiļ¬cial intelligence and cyber security. Computational Mathematics is also playing an increasingly important role.
The 2021 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was jointly awarded to David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian for their discoveries of receptors for temperature and touch. The
talk goes into how the discoveries were made and their importance in understanding one of our essential senses.
