TESTIMONIALS

The festival feels very energetic and fresh, would love to be a part of it offline!

Richard Wiseman

I really enjoyed the conversation and the engagement from the audience. The audience wasn’t that large, but the question were insightful, which made me feel that I was engaging in a meaningful way with them.

Andrew Maynard

The organization was excellent. The media and publicity features, choice of speakers and sessions were outstanding.

Karishma Kaushik

I really liked the variety and creative angle of the talks. I also appreciate that the talks are available online via YouTube – I’ll be able to use some in future teaching.

Marina Joubert

It (India Science Festival) might prove to be a turning point in the history of our brilliant, perpetually interesting, mad, magical country of ours. We want India not only to excel in technology but become a world leader in basic science.

V.S. Ramachandran

Director Center for Brain and Cognition, University of California, San Diego

ISF is an interesting first step towards democratizing science. Definitely take this forward! More essential than ever in these times. Love the festivalization of science making it accessible, engaging and meaningful to diverse populations.

Payal Arora

Professor and Chair in Technology, Values and Global Media Cultures, Erasmus School of Philosophy

The large number of children and young adults who are eager to hear things. (were the best thing about ISF).

P. J. Narayanan

Professor & Director, IIT Hyderabad

"I had a great time at the festival the whole day–both at the talk and panel, as well as the almost nonstop interactions with students…wherever I went ;-) Hats off to you for putting this event together. It requires a certain level of delusion to even think of putting together a festival of this size, let alone pulling it off!"

Subbarao Kambhampati

Professor of Computer Science, Arizona State University
