Modern science is counter intuitive, invokes entities unfamiliar in everyday experience and demands justification different from those adduced in common sense. Positing that communicating science becomes daunting not because of technical terms nor because Indian languages are not fecund enough, the talk would elucidate some of the literary strategies that one can deploy to make science communication effective.
About the Speaker: Dr. T.V. Venkateswaran is a science writer and chief editor of India Science Wire. He has more than 50 books and 500 articles to his credit. His research interests include science education and the role of the media in science communication, particularly in the Indian context.
About the Lecture Series: The APC Lecture Series aims to bring experts in communication, history, archiving, policy, and publishing to the Institute.
