[WhatsUpUoH] Re: [Sawaaljawaab] Announcing the next Sawaal-Jawaab: Sat Dec 13 at 2 pm

Dr Shubha Tewari

Dear Madam

I would like to convey my appreciation and many thanks to you and your team of scientists for today's Sawaal-Jawaab which was done very well. I am a finance professional and so far as science is concerned a complete layman. Yet if I cd grasp a few bits of what you were all trying to convey today and in the previous SJ sessions it is because of the tremendous effort you are all putting in to reach out to commoners like me. 

This is a commendable effort and the intent noble. Pl accept my congratulations and appreciation and thanks. 



Thanx and regards,

Dear Principal,

This is to encourage you to announce the following public lecture which is
scheduled this Saturday. The series is titled Sawaal-Jawaab:
Conversations on Science. There is a slight change in format this time:
the usual talk by the speaker is replaced by a conversation between two
scientists. We will demonstrate experiments that highlight the unusual and
ill-understood properties of granular materials, and showcase the thought
and discussion that goes into analysing them and elucidating the science
behind the observed phenomena. No prior knowledge or expertise is
required.

Our guest scientist this time is Prof. Shankar Ghosh of the Tata Institute
of Fundamental Research (TIFR) Mumbai in conversation with Shubha Tewari
of TIFR Hyderabad. An experimental physicist working on soft matter,
Shankar has discovered beautiful phenomena in materials ranging from
colloids to carbon nanotubes.

Talk Title: Learning new physics,  one grain at a time
Date: Saturday Dec. 13, 2014
Time: 2:00 pm
Venue: Lamakaan
off Road No. 1, Banjara Hills, near GVK One Mall
http://www.lamakaan.com/events/1842

Abstract of talk: Sand, and other materials made of large grains,
challenge our basic notions of what it means to be a solid, liquid, or
gas.  We present  demonstrations, observations, and arguments that show
that everyday phenomena can shed new light on fundamental issues in
physics and materials science.

We hope to see you there! A poster of the event is attached. For further
information, please email stewari@tifrh.res.in
