Conversation with Sudipta Maiti

podcasts 1 Minute

Sudipata is a molecular biophysicist who uses light and spectroscopy to study biologically relevant questions. He is a Professor at TIFR, Mumbai: http://www.biophotonics.co.in/

In this episode, we discussed what drew him to biophysics, his journey in establishing biophotonics as a research area in India, his motivation to start the FCS workshop and his thoughts on science in India. There are many other branches of discussion related to the pursuit of science, which the listeners may enjoy and learn from.

Listen as we humanize science.
