National Science Day 2023

National Science Day 2023:

India celebrates National Science Day on 28th February every year to mark the discovery of the Raman effect on 28 February 1928 for which Sir C.V. Raman was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for the year 1930. The theme of the National Science Day 2023 is “Global Science for Global Wellbeing”. In the first National Science Day of the ‘Amritkaal’ this is recognition for the idea that Science is universal and is for everyone’s well being and progress, not the preserve of a few. The Department of Science and Technology (DST) acts as a nodal agency to support, catalyse and coordinate celebration of the National Science Day throughout the country. 

As a Physicist who studied at Allahabad University, I have made some contributions on this National Science Day. All of them are in the nature of spreading Scientific awareness for Global well being. I am a Ph.D. student of Prof SK Joshi, who was a Ph.D. student of Prof K Banerji, who was a Ph.D. student of Prof KS Krishnan, who worked closely with Sir CV Raman. 

The first is a weeklong course on ‘ First Principles and Scientific Temper’ in fulfilment of the Directive Principles in Article 51(A) (h) of the Constitution of India. The second is a series of weekend courses on topics that I have labelled as ‘Contemporary Physics’, for high ability students who dream beyond just getting into IITs. The typical School leaving curriculum does not cover the most exciting recent developments in Physics. Much of contemporary  physics topics, of which some have been the subject of recent Nobel Prizes is available to almost everyone with an enthusiasm, and a good Internet connection. 

This series begins with the James Webb Space telescope ( JWST), not knowing about which cost Google US$ 100 billion in its botched up demo of Bard, and explores topics such as ……. Symmetry in Physics, key Quantum concepts, spin, Quantum Entanglement, Superconductivity, the standard model in Physics, Complexity, Complex adaptive systems, Special Theory of Relativity, General theory of Relativity, Frontiers of Physics. 

And the third is another weekend course “ Why learn Physics?” directed at students of class 10 to share the enthusiasm and excitement of the world of Physics. The NEP 2020 encourages the learners to not restrict themselves to traditional courses and combinations, but explore choices based on their interests and aspirations. But who informs the prospective learner about what are the features and attributes of different subjects, that make it worthwhile to learn them. I have made a beginning with this weekend course on “ Why learn Physics ?”.

The flow of topics for this weekend course is : What is Physics?,thinking like a Physicist, The map of Physics, and how the life of an ‘ordinary’ Physicist can be ‘extra-ordinary’.

Wishing everyone a wonderful National Science Day 2023.

Learning Prescriptions:

Learning Prescriptions: 

We need inspirations from other professions to bring about innovations in education. One such innovation is the concept of a ‘Learning Prescription’. I had earlier espoused the idea of a “to learn” list like the “to do“ list that is well known in management.

By investing in a reading habit, you can ensure you’re growing yourself every day. That’s why the 1st example is of ‘Reading Effectively’. The NEP 2020 emphasises ‘learning how to learn’. The 2nd sample learning prescription is therefore on ‘ Building Learning Power’. It has been said that the future will in due course, become the present, whether we are prepared or not. It has also been said that success happens when preparation meets opportunity. Hence the 3rd sample learning prescription on ‘Anticipating the future’. In the present and coming era of information explosion, available information must be absorbed critically,hence the 4th sample learning prescription is on ‘ Critical Thinking’. Finally there is both a hype about as well as great promise from the Metaverse. The 5th sample learning prescription is therefore about ‘ Education in the Metaverse’. 

It builds upon the concepts of “ Bibliotherapy” and “ CBT: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy” to create a product for self-directed learners, who would want to stay away from joining the useless class ( https://youtu.be/OMDlfNWM1fA ) predicted by Yuval Noah Harari.

Distance Learning has used self-instructional learning materials designed by specialised Instructional designers for its learners. This was done by the UK Open University, the Indira Gandhi National Open University and other similar Institutions. But that course material was the same for all the learners pursuing a particular course. Learning prescriptions are designed for an individual learner.

The next edition of this weekend course is on Saturday March 25th and Sunday March 26th 2022. Thereafter it will be on offer on every fourth weekend of the month.

Flow:

Day 1: The Concept of a Learning Prescription

1.1: What is ‘prescribed’ in education?

1.2: The elements of a medical prescription

1.3: Generic format of a ‘learning prescription’?

1.4: Self-learning and ‘learning prescriptions’

1.5: Who should be giving ‘ learning prescriptions’?

Day 2: Examples of Learning Prescriptions

2.1: Reading effectively

2.2: Building Learning Power

2.3: Anticipating the future

2.4: Critical Thinking

2.5: Education in The Metaverse

Why Learn Physics?

Why learn Physics? 

This is the time of the year when millions of students moving from class 10 to class 11 would have to make choices for the subjects that they will be studying for the next 2 years. The NEP 2020 encourages the learners to not restrict themselves to traditional courses and combinations, but explore choices based on their interests and aspirations. But who informs the prospective learner about the features and attributes of different subjects, that make it worthwhile to learn them. I am creating a series of weekend WhatsApp courses labelled “ Y learn X ?” and Why learn Physics is the first in the series. 

One of the oldest academic disciplines, Physics is a natural science whose goal is to understand how everything works at its most fundamental level. Physics studies nature on scales as small as an atomic nucleus to as large as the observable universe. Physics is the cornerstone of the other natural sciences (chemistry,computing, geology, biology, astronomy) and is essential to understanding our modern technological society. At the heart of physics is a combination of experiment, observation and the analysis of phenomena using mathematical and computational tools.

Learning Physics trains you to become an expert problem solver. You learn to break down a problem into its component parts and apply advanced mathematics, computing, data analysis and experimental techniques to arrive at a solution.

In due course we will have “ Why learn Maths?”, “ Why learn Biology?”, “ Why learn Economics?”, “ Why learn Psychology?” and others. 

The flow of topics for this weekend course is :

Each of the posts comprise short interesting videos, short pieces of texts, visuals and animations, and not long lectures. There maybe links for further information for those who want to explore further.

Why learn Physics?

Day 1: About Physics

1.1: What is Physics?

1.2: Elon Musk on thinking like a Physicist

1.3: The map of Physics

1.4: Humanity progresses with advances in Physics

1.5: Resources for learning Physics

Day 2: The benefits of learning Physics

2.1: Physics develops measurement and estimation skills

2.2: Physics develops thinking and problem solving skills

2.3: Learning Physics equips you for a number of opportunities 

2.4:  Knowing Physics helps appreciate the limits of human Knowledge 

2.5: The life of an ‘ordinary’ Physicist can be ‘extra-ordinary’

 The first edition of this course will run on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th March 2023, and thereafter it will be on offer on the third weekend of every month. 

The fee for this weekend course is Rs 1000/- and can be easily remitted through PayTM to MM Pant ( mobile number : +919810073724).

Contemporary Physics:

Contemporary Physics:

The frontiers of knowledge, especially of Science are moving at an accelerated pace and while a bright young mind may be excited by all the new developments, the School curriculum does not often promote this excitement. In Physics for example, at the School level there is little appreciation of quantum, relativistic, nuclear, particle and interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary physics. These topics are covered at the end of an undergraduate Physics course  or in a program for post graduate Physics students. This need not be so now, in the 3rd decade of the 21st century. The fact is that much of contemporary Physics can be learnt by almost everyone with an intense desire and a good Internet connection. These weekend learning explorations guided by Prof MM Pant take the learner through an exciting tour of quantum physics, relativity, modern particle physics and its history. Comprising a number of fascinating topics, of which some have been the subject of recent Nobel Prizes. They have been structured as weekend learning events. This “road less travelled”  in the spirit of Robert Frost is created out of the joy of Physics; it is not designed to produce problem-solving ability to crack the IIT-JEE but rather is designed to reveal some beauty and joy of Physics.

It is not only in intellectual terms that you could be losing by not being up to date with modern developments, but in real dollar terms, the Google team lost $100 billion because of being unaware of the JWST ( https://www.space.com/james-webb-space-telescope-google-100-billion). Our weekend topic for the first weekend in Contemporary Physics is therefore the James Webb Space Telescope. 

March 11th and 12th: Contemporary Physics: The James Webb Space Telescope ( JWST)

Saturday 11th March 2023: From Galileo’s telescope to the JWST

Sunday 12th March 2023: Discoveries from the JWST: the map of Physics

Some of the topics to be explored during future weekends: Symmetry in Physics, key Quantum concepts, spin, 

Quantum Entanglement, Superconductivity: the phenomenon and its applications, The standard model in Physics, Complexity, Complex adaptive systems, Special Theory of Relativity, General theory of Relativity, Frontiers of Physics

By way of follow up on this Contemporary Physics, similar weekend courses are also being developed for Contemporary Mathematics and Contemporary Biology.

ChatGPT and education

ChatGPT and education:

Backdrop:

Just two months after its release, in November 2022, ChatGPT reached over 100 million users in January 2023. This, and similar AI chatbots based on LLMs have the potential to permanently transform education, as had been projected in Sir Anthony Seldon’s book : The fourth education revolution. 

ChatGPT is a free tool that anyone with a device and internet can use — making it widely accessible, especially for students who, at this point, are all digital natives.

When a human user inputs questions or commands into ChatGPT, the AI processes the text and generates the answer based on the neural network data.

The Indian National missions in education are being guided by Goal4 of the SDGs, the Indian NEP 2020 and the current deliberations of the G-20 education working group. And ChatGPT seems to the right stimulus provided by the technology in analogy to what IBM had done for the US 1880 census operations. 

Some education Institutions have hastily reacted by banning or restricting the use of chatGPT to preserve the integrity of the traditional examination, whereas educators should lead by changing the form of examinations and their assessment. Maybe by assessing the questions that a student asks chatGPT. 

In addition to the sound pedagogical reasons for treating ChatGPT as an opportunity and not a threat, there are practical ones as well. It simply isn’t feasible to effectively ban access to this technology. Honor code or not, many students will be unable to resist the temptation to seek AI assistance with their writing. And how would an educational institution enforce a ChatGPT ban? 

This WhatsApp course is offered in the 1st weekend of every month beginning with : March  4th and 5th

The themes for the flow of posts on these 2 days are: 

Day 1: What is chatGPT and why the buzz?

1.1: The huge adoption of GPT

1.2: From Eliza to chatGPT

1.3: Similar products

1.4: The promise of chatGPT in education

1.5: The red flags 

Day 2: Impact of chatGPT in education

2.1: Key activities in the classroom

2.2: Course syllabus and outlines

2.3: Personalised Learning

2.4: Assessments and GPT

2.5: Academic cheating and chatGPT

Enrolment and fee payment:

Living well without a traditional job:

Living well without a traditional job 

Backdrop :

The title of this post may seem like an impossibility, but it is a good idea to give it serious thought as with increasing longevity, many people will have perhaps as many or more post retirement years, as the number of years spent working in a traditional job role. 

We all seek happiness, success and fulfilment in our lives. But most of our life is spent around getting ourselves educated to get a ‘traditional’ job, working at such jobs till retirement and then a post – retirement life. With extending lifespans and rapid changes in the ‘ abundance’ around us, the model of traditional jobs as the central theme of life will change towards flourishing and thriving and not merely surviving of Darwin. 

We have seen times when the most common form of having income was to work for someone as an employee in a job. But there are possibilities of income without being in a traditional job. Passive income happens while you are asleep, while you are watching movies on television or without your input whatsoever. The establishment of an Intellectual Property Regime allows one to benefit from development of such products for a long time. 

I have developed a WhatsApp delivered weekend course to spread awareness of the possibilities. Of course, these ideas will take time to be realised and yield results.

The first edition of this weekend course is on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th March, and thereafter it will be on every 4th weekend of the month.

The flow of topics over these 2 days is as follows: 

Day 1: What is a good life?

1.1: Socrates on ‘ an unexamined life is not worth living’.

1.2: Aristotle’s idea of living well

1.3: Purushartha : Artha, Dharma, Kaam and Moksha; yogic concept of aparigraha and asteya

1.4: The Japanese concept of Ikigai

1.5: The Harvard Study 

Day 2: Investing for a good life

2.1: Drapetomania

2.2: Limitations of a traditional job

2.3: An investment in education gives the best returns

2.4: Voltaire: One must cultivate one’s own garden 

2.5: Developing and profiting from your ‘ Intellectual Property’

Why Learn Quantum?


QT1: Why learn Quantum  ? 

Backdrop :

Quantum physics is perhaps the greatest intellectual triumph of human civilization, but the public in general is not aware of it. Even many professionals who studied or are studying Science at School are not aware that ‘life’ is in its essence driven by Quantum Mechanics. The universe as we know it runs on quantum rules, and while the classical physics that emerges when you apply quantum physics to enormously huge numbers of particles seem very different, there are lots of familiar, everyday phenomena that demonstrate  quantum effects. Have you ever wondered how birds instinctively find their way across thousands of miles of open sky during migration? Or pondered on how photosynthesis happens, or how the human sense of smell works?

Despite our best efforts to understand them, natural processes such as these are puzzling. But recently, scientists have been using quantum physics to unravel some of nature’s enduring mysteries.

Another important purpose of this course is to develop pride in our own Scientists and their fundamental contributions at the Quantum  level which have been unjustly ignored. Raman effect for which Sir CV Raman was conferred the Nobel Prize in 1930 was essentially a ‘Quantum’ effect. Satyendra Bose after whom a class of particles have been named Bosons has also made signal contributions. Jagdish Chandra Bose had demonstrated that plants also conform to the laws of Physics, which we now believe is Quantum Mechanics. And in recent times, Luv Grover developed a Quantum algorithm that goes by his name. 

The 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics for experimental work on Quantum entanglement has laid the foundation for a new era of quantum technology, being hailed as the 2nd Quantum Revolution. https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/2022/popular-information/

The flow of the topics for this weekend WhatsApp program :

Day 1: The Quantum World

1.1: Quantum making news 

1.2: Quantum Physics in everyday life

1.3: The dramatis personae in Quantum Mechanics

1.4: Quantum is fundamental: classical physics is a special case

1.5: Quantum myths that need to be busted

Day 2: Preparing for a Quantum future

2.1: Key ideas in  Quantum Mechanics

2.2: Quantum Computing

2.3: Quantum Biology

2.4: The 2nd Quantum Revolution

2.5: Self-taught Quantum professional

This brief course is a fascinating introduction for the curious, with sufficient guidance for more, for the serious. Somewhat more than magazine articles but less than UG courses of a good rigorous academic program.

The next batch will run on Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th March 2023.

Learning to Self-Learn

Learning to self-learn:
Soon after chatGPT was launched,Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that self-learning through technology is an opportunity for today’s generation: https://lnkd.in/d9FJN9Jh
Press release from PMO dated: 20 JAN 2023 11:59AM by PIB Delhi
One thing most successful people have in common is the desire to self-learn. It’s the modern way of learning, and it has proven to be more effective and convenient. Although self-learning hasn’t replaced the traditional ways of learning – yet, with the advancement of technology, it has become possible for most individuals. Nowadays, you can learn how to do anything with a mere YouTube tutorial, or learn an entirely new language with a single app.  And the recently introduced Generative AI Chatbots like chatGPT and Bard serve to accelerate this self-learning.
The NEP 2020 at para 4.6 states that its thrust will be to move the education system towards real understanding and ‘learning how to learn’ – and away from the culture of rote learning. Its goal will be to create holistic and well-rounded individuals equipped with key 21st-century skills. Self-Learning is perhaps the most important 21st Century Skill. Once a person has ‘learnt how to learn’ the person is on the way to become a self-learner. Robert Frost, the famous poet and Professor said “ I am not a teacher, I am an awakener”. And Richard Feynman in his famous “ Lectures on Physics” quoted Edward Gibbons ‘ and the power of instruction is of little efficacy except in those fortunate dispositions, where it is almost superfluous’.
The futurist Thomas Frey says “If we continue to insert a teacher between us and everything we need to learn, we cannot possibly learn fast enough to meet the demands of the future”.
I have designed a weekend WhatsApp course that spreads awareness about self-learning, it’s benefits and how to pursue it.
Flow of topic/themes:
Day 1: Saturday
L2SL01: Self-learning: the most important 21st Century skill?
L2SL02: What is worth Learning?
L2SL03: Self-learning as a vaccine against ‘uselessness’
L2SL04: Mindsets and other barriers to self-learning
L2SL05: The Science of Learning
Day 2: Sunday
L2SL06: Attributes of a successful self-learner
L2SL07: Techniques to become a better self-learner
L2SL08: The SmartLearner’s Toolkit
L2SL09: Levels of self-learning
L2SL10: Wrapping up:
This weekend course will be available on the first weekend of every month beginning from Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th March 2023.

TLCM: The language called Mathematics



TLCM: The language called Mathematics
Rishi Sunak, the UK Prime Minister, recently made a controversial suggestion that all UK students should learn Maths till 18 years of age: https://youtu.be/AdfsRg97qEY
I am proposing a subset (a mathematical concept) of that vision to make it possible for everyone who wants to learn Mathematics to be able to do so, with the use of AI powered pedagogies. This is especially relevant in India because many students wanting to learn Maths at the 11th and 12th are denied so, because they did not score well enough in Maths at their 10th Board examinations.
Mathematics is our best tool for describing how the world works. This unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics is both an asset and a curse. It’s an asset as it generates interest in the subject to have key problems solved. But it’s a curse because it leads people to expect all math to have obvious immediate applications.
The purpose of this weeklong WhatsApp course is to develop an interest in the subject and kindle the desire to know more about Mathematics. 
The phrase “ Mathematics is a language” was used by John Willard Gibbs, a very distinguished American Scientist. He was of course echoing what Galileo had said hundreds of years earlier “ Nature is written in mathematical language”. 

Day 1: The language called Maths
1.1: The myths and misconceptions regarding Maths
1.2: The Beauty of Mathematics
1.3: Recognition for Maths achievement
1.4: Is Mathematics invented or discovered?
1.5: The Map of Mathematics

Day 2: Overcoming Maths Phobia
2.1: Maths anxiety and its symptoms
2.2: Causes of Maths phobia
2.3: Inspiring Mathematicians
2.4: What neuroscience tells us about learning Maths?
2.5: Habits that help in learning Maths

Day 3: Techniques for learning Maths
3.1: Mathematical Thinking
3.2: Procrastination and Time Management
3.3: Focus on concepts not process
3.4: Mastery Learning
3.5: Chunking

Day 4: Resources for Learning Maths Yourself:
4.1: Books for self-learning Maths
4.2: Internet resources for learning Maths
4.3: Mobile Apps for learning Maths
4.4: Khan Academy: Bill Gates choice
4.5: YouTube videos for learning Maths

Day 5: Learning Maths Yourself: guided by the mother
5.1: Pre-school stage
5.2: Foundation stage
5.3: Primary years
5.4: Middle School
5.5: Secondary School
Enrolment and fee payment: 
* As the course is delivered through WhatsApp the enrolment process is simply to send a WhatsApp message to Prof MM Pant at +919810073724. 
* The fee for the above course is Rs 2500/- and can be easily remitted through PayTM to MM Pant ( mobile number : +919810073724).
