Manu Prakash // Finding Sublime in the Mundane

wondercollaborative.org/our-f...
Manu Prakash always yearned to know the why and the how of things. As a boy in India, he spent endless hours playing outside with animals and making flammable artifacts in an abandoned lab in the basement of his home. Having the chance to explore his surroundings with open-ended curiosity, he learned to find the sublime in the mundane. Today, as a world-renowned researcher and inventor at Stanford University, he continues to be inspired by these childhood lessons, and is creating low-cost tools to empower people around the globe to go on their own journey of science and discovery.

If I have a kid and if it's a boy, I'm going to name him after this man!

In science we are often attracted towards the exotic. But sometimes curiosity drives you to the mundane. When you uncover a layer in the mundane and find something puzzling, that tells you that we actually don't quite understand the mundane. 😊😊😊😊 These lines are so moving. I bought a microscope just because of this line. Thank you.

This man is nothing but something else.

Really, a scientist I will look forth in my life to meet and learn from him 🙏

[@Nose-cv5to]

It’s amazing the fact that curiosity makes us what we are, and we can inspire others to make their own paths into science
