On 16/2/2019, Department of Physics arranged an interactive session named ‘Coffee with Scientist’. Students got a golden chance to meet and interact with four generation Scientists: Dr Krishnan Ramanathan (Retired Director of research, CNRS France), Dr M R Anantharaman (Former Head, Dept of Physics, CUSAT), Aravind Puthirath Balan (Research scholar with Publication in nature) and Sreeram P (Research Scholars, CUSAT). They shared about their philosophies and described about the hard work they did for the progress of Research. Students are very much inspired by their talk and it was really a touching experience for all who participated in the program to hear the words of such eminent scientist about their views on science and their personal life. Dr Anantharaman was the research supervisor of two of our faculty members Dr Malini K A and Dr Veena Gopalan E
