Khwarizmi Science Society's Science Agahi Movement
The Science Agahi Muhim (Science Awareness Movement) was launched in March 2011. Under this programme, the Khwarizmi Science Society plans to interview eminent scientists, technologists, health practitioners, master craftsmen, doctors, engineers, architects, school and college teachers, students, as well as members of the general public on scientific topics that are:
- of relevance to Pakistan
- relate to emergencies, health crises and natural disasters
- especially important for social uplift, protection and well being of the citizens of Pakistan
These video interviews will be shared on Khwarizmi Science Society's Youtube Channel.
Please share your ideas with us and do write to us at info@khwarizmi.org.
"The movie presents the extraordinary figure of Abdus Salam, who not only was an outstanding scientist but also a generous humanitarian and a valuable person. His rich and busy life was an endless quest for symmetry, that he pursued in the universe of physical laws and in the world of human beings." (ICTP)
In wake of current quakes, tsunami and consequent damage to nuclear power reactors and leakage of nuclear radiation, hundreds of thousands of Japanese are left struggling for survival. It has combined a natural disaster and the backfire from a technological monster. In this interview we will ask our learned guest about the scientific causes of earthquakes and tsunamis and how these natural disasters effect nuclear installations? What are the preventive measures against nuclear radiation fallout? As Pakistan is equally vulnerable to natural disasters and a country with many nuclear installations, so will also discuss the national context.
