Good quality research requires us to get deep and right to the roots of a problem. The entire process however narrows the vision of the researcher which can potentially lead to a failed research if one starts digging down at the wrong spot. While failures are necessary stepping stones for progress, one needs to minimize them and early recovery aids in fast progress of science. That is where group discussions and collaboration helps by enabling us to retain the broader view. I am very happy with the initiative of the EE students reading group. I have witnessed some very good presentations and Q&A and I hope this activity continues with the same rigor and vigour in the future.

I had not given a thought about how to convey my research to a layman.. The 'Research Storytelling Challenge' helped me to introspect my work from the point of view of the audience

"Student life is the best time to learn and equip ourselves for our career. The reading group is a great way to expand our horizon and learn about a wide range of topics and foster healthy discussion among peers. I strongly recommend that students use this opportunity to learn as much as they can."
