A Japanese torpedo, an Indian cyclotron and Jahnavi's journey in science history
In this episode, Dr. Jahnavi Phalkey, founding director of the Science Gallery Bengaluru, talks about how she got to be a historian of science and technology.
Jahnavi, who recently won the Infosys Prize for 2023 in the humanities category, harnesses a historian’s discipline and a storyteller’s craft to try and make science accessible to everyone. And, in her own words, to show that science doesn’t happen in isolation.
In this conversation, she also talks about the interplay of various factors that have influenced scientific research in India, and her aspiration that the Science Gallery should become a welcoming space for young people to explore whatever fascinates them, be it math or gaming or theatre, free of expectations.
