“Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge”
Science is a way of life. Science is a perspective. Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding in a manner that’s precise, predictive and reliable – a transformation, for those lucky enough to experience it, that is empowering and emotional.
Celebrating the scientific temperament and as a tribute to our own great scientist Dr Har Gobind Khorana, the Science Club of J. H. Tarapore School, conducted the event “Science for Gen Z” on 23rd January, 2021.
