"Humility"

No tree of true greatness grows taller than one rooted upon humility.

Science Advocacy

Each time when a single hand bathes another, it too gets cleansed in the process. For this reason, it is out of a warm conviction that I believe science is never complete until it is communicated and translated into shared skills among societies. As an individual in computational material science myself, I too, take honest pleasure in sharing my knowledge, expertise and skills despite how limited they may seem. Amongst many of the lessons I have come to learn in life, experience has taught me that sharing knowledge does not make one lesser, but more informed. 

Science not only is an intellectual and often practical activity that systematically governs the knowledge of what surrounds existence and life, but is also a gift to humankind. One interesting aspect about the gift of scientific knowledge is that it appreciates whenever it is being given away, and it slowly depreciates when kept away from others. If I had 5 extra hours per week, I would devote this time to filling up crevices and cracks of scientific knowledge through writing brief casual essays about scientific concepts, mentoring undergraduate students, tutoring high school learners and engaging in intellectual debates.

All these activities would essentially rest on the aim of contributing towards the growth of scientific awareness in our academic community, as well as amongst our broad non-scientist society.
