Just saw the highlights from the 2nd International Science Film Festival in Thrissur and Dr. M.P. Parameswaran really hit the nail on the head. He argued that science shouldn't just be about mass production or mindless consumption, but about creating conditions for everyone to live happily. It’s a refreshing take in a world where we’re constantly told to chase the money. Hearing a scientist tell kids that making money shouldn’t be their life’s goal is so important. Plus, seeing the local district panchayat aim for 100 films from Thrissur itself next year is wild! Imagine students and teachers getting trained to make their own science docs. We need more of this, using cinema to make science accessible and meaningful rather than just a dry subject in a textbook. Screens are showing films like 'Manjadi' and 'Pride of Kerala' right now, and it feels like a real grassroots movement is starting. Science is for everyone, not just the elite in labs. #science #culture #education https://thoxt.com/l/vvCt3k 🔗
