Why I am so keen on writing about astrobiology course in Bengaluru?
Answer: Read about my research structure below!
About me:
I am a recipient of young researcher award from European Space Agency (ESA): for works on exoplanets [https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10509-017-3131-y] and also received an young scientist award from 105th Indian Science Congress under physical sciences: based on the works of extremophile survivability on rocky exoplanets [https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.06341].
Which makes me an interdisciplinary researcher in Astrophysics and Astrobiology. I know this can be solved by working as an individual with the help of a mooc course and collaborating abroad as a researcher, which I am doing presently. But in order to motivate the next generation the growth is necessary, with a proper coursework and guidance. As a fact my biology knowledge is till 10th grade! so my concern as per help for guidance goes can be understood.
What can be done?
A quote from star trek goes "Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise.
Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new
life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone before!", we need to pay attention here. For any new knowledge to grow it has to go under a university structure. As a matter presently astrobiology falls under a domain status, but when it becomes a discipline then things will move forward quickly. Hope this reaches UGC! or there are some astrophysicists from IIA making a progress in this field can recommend government to start a new institute for this area, funds are pretty much necessary.
Any people with start up capabilities can make a difference by starting a astrobiology institute. Which is faster and more of a trend these days!
