The second International Science Film Festival just kicked off in Thrissur, and it is bringing a much-needed perspective to the table. Eminent scientist M.P. Parameswaran made a powerful point during the inauguration: science shouldn't just be about boosting production or mindless consumption. Instead, its ultimate goal should be creating the right conditions for everyone to live a happy, fulfilled life. He even urged children not to make money their sole life goal, which is such a refreshing take in today's hyper-competitive world. What’s even more exciting is the district's plan to train students and teachers to produce 100 science films right here in Thrissur for next year's edition. Seeing local titles like 'Pride of Kerala' and 'Arivinte Lokam' on the big screen shows how science storytelling is evolving. We need more of this, science that serves humanity rather than just the bottom line. #Science #Cinema #Education
