Further, the professor shared some encouraging words with the students by conveying three messages. The first, to build their scientific temper as there will be a way if they follow the science, such as the uncertainties of science and discovery.
The second message is to think about embracing the struggle. He said that their skills and abilities are the foundation to build their careers and change the world.
Speaking about the third message, he said it is to empathise and if everyone understands what it is to walk a mile in other people’s shoes, they will understand what it is that they need to do to help themselves and the society.
