India Science (www.indiascience.in) is an Internet-based science Over-The-Top (OTT) TV channel. It is an initiative of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Govt of India , implemented and managed by Vigyan Prasar (VP), an autonomous organisation of Department of Science and Technology. This 24x7 video platform is dedicated to science and technology knowledge dissemination, with a strong commitment to spreading scientific awareness especially with Indian perspectives, ethos and cultural milieu. The initiative is supported by National Council of Science and Technology Communication (NCSTC), DST.

Science and Technology are the main driving forces of the nation and fundamental to the progress and growth. But there is a distinct difference between “science” and “scientific”.

What do you think, is the difference and where do you think they relate with each other? How do the two words contribute to building and reinforcing scientific temper among the youth? Send us your views!

किसान की जनभागीदारी साईंस और साइंटिफिक रिसर्च के साथ-साथ फार्मर प्रोडूसर कंपनी में या प्रोसेसिंग कंपनी के साथ हो तो वह भी एक अच्छा है । किसान ही देश की शक्ति है ।विज्ञान और वैज्ञानिक दृष्टिकोण से किसान की जनभागीदारी सही आर्थिक स्वतंत्रता है । किसान बील यही रस्ता से विकास की यात्रा कर रहा है । जय किसान जय जवान जय विज्ञान ।

Everyone may not need to be vaccinated for Covid-19 virus. Let us understand this by a simple logic. If there are two persons in a room and one is vaccinated then other one is automatically safe. Another dimension may be added to this model to consider entry of third person in room. Then if two people are vaccinated, third is safe. If this logic is applied to a computer simulated model, it can be said that around 60% population may need to be vaccinated. Scientists may work more on this

All education wheather Science or history should not taught and get "fixed" in primary schools and other institutes. It is easy to concort(in the case of history) or induce high level of prejudice(in the case of science). Hence only evidences and directions need be given in these institutes. This may break several ice bergs in Science. I know many academicians who do this way of teaching.

Scientists must practice critical thinking to be successful, but the qualifications for success in other professions do not necessarily require the use of critical thinking, a fact that is the source of much confusion, discord, and unhappiness in our society.

Some professionals in the humanities, social sciences, jurisprudence, business, and journalism practice critical thinking as well as any scientist, but many, alas, do not.

Scientific and critical thinking was not discovered and developed by scientists , but scientists were the ones to bring the practice of critical thinking to the attention and use of modern society (in the 17th and 18th centuries), and they are the most explicit, rigorous, and successful practitioners of critical thinking today

Clearly, scientific and critical thinking are the same thing, but where one (scientific thinking) is always practiced by scientists, the other (critical thinking) is sometimes used by humans and sometimes not
