> The Students' Council IISc, Bangalore, is organizing a two-day

> (12-13 Dec, 2000) Dialogue on " Bridging Science to Humanity " .

> Eminent personalities

> from science and beyond science are coming together to interact

> with the Institute members and other interested participants. The

> motivation behind the whole dialogue is to explore the avenues through

> which Science and Humanity can converge towards a common goal which

> would ensure a better quality of life and work not just for human

> beings, but for the whole of nature.

>

> Any attempt at emphasizing the relevance of integrating Science and

> Spirituality in moulding our future will fall short. As Martin Luther

> King Jr said,

>

> " Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have

> guided missiles and misguided men. "

>

> Apart from your participation in the Dialogue, your organizational

> capabailities would be of immense help in reaching out to the other

> students/youth of colleges across Bangalore. So, if you have the drive,

> please do come forward and join us in our earnest attempt at making the

> Dialogue useful for one and all.
