Makes science look easy and interesting

In this book, Dr. Raman says that science is not restricted only to laboratories – science to him comes from nature. It is about questioning deeper and about being in the state of wondering; not expecting short answers. One does not need advanced equipment to experience science. All that is required is a thirst for knowledge. — Aarushi Majumder, 9 years
