In this episode, we discussed him becoming a biologist; his journey in to the  realm of genetics and evolutionary biology; science and its interface with society; on how to do research; and how to think of problems; we also discussed interface of art and science and; in a way, we broke the myth of CP Snow’s essay on “Two cultures”. Also, don’t miss the fabulous recitation of poems in Persian and Urdu – including lines from Iqbal and Rumi, and delightful insights on his thoughts in eloquent Hindustani. There is so much to listen, learn and think about…as always on a conversation with Amitabh

Listen…as we humanize science…
