** Falakiyati Melas **
Khurshid-e-Jaha Taab Ka Apna Raaz-e-Hayat Kya Hai !
We are approaching schools in Punjab for organizing Falakiyati melas on their campuses. This will come **at no cost **for the schools. The students, teachers and parents at the local schools will be shown celestial bodies with the help of powerful telescopes, harboured by the Khwarizmi Science Society team.
If you would like our team come to our school download the material given below, fill in the forms and send back to the Society address.

After all these years, I do not know what I may appear to the
world, but to myself, I seem to have been only a boy playing on
the sea-shore and diverting myself in, now and then, finding a
smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary whilst the
great ocean of truth lay all undisocvered before me.
-Isaac Newton
Given below is a list of the experts, scientists and students who
have been invited to the platform of the Khwarizmi Science Society to present seminars and
lectures, lead panel discussions, direct workshops and deliver our famous serious of
public lectures.You can appreciate the mix of intellectual and educational
backgroundsthese distinguished speakers come from, as well as the institutions they
represent.

The KSS greatly cherishes its inter-disciplinary character. Our events range from the Mathematical to the Biological Sciences, the intricacies of the Sub-Atomic world to the Pristine Beauty of the Natural Habitat, from the inner workings of a Petrol Engine to the promise of Fuel Cells, from the Human Genome Project to the advances in Telecommunications. We also cover topics of imminent interest and of paramount national and social importance, such as Pakistan’s Nuclear Programme, the Cracking of the Human Genome and its ethical implications, and the outbreak of community diseases such as the Dengue Fever. Our no-boundaries philosophies even takes us into unchartered waters, commonly neglected discourses in Pakistan, such as Astronomy, Earth sciences and the History and Philosophy of Science.
The KSS does not belong to one educational institution. We have chapters all around Lahore and are currently in the process of expanding our reach outside Lahore. Our members and participants are students of science, economics, history, literature and religion, all sharing a common goal – the quest and never ending thirst for knowledge. We are not even confined to students and academicians. We have gained our worth amongst the general public as well. Our unique characteristic is our series of public lectures that do not assume any prior knowledge of the subjects under discussion and attract the laity. These lectures are often conducted in Urdu, maximizing comprehension and a “homely atmosphere”. This helps us a long way in achieving our goal of popularizing science.
One of our major aims is the character building of students by boosting their confidence levels. Our seminars and lectures are not only conducted by renowned experts, but also by students. This provides them the opportunity to share their message with their peers and helps promulgate their ideas within teachers and scientists. We personally feel that it is very important to break this communication gap between teachers and students, the experts and the novices and the KSS is duly fulfilling its role in this respect as well.
In short, our major objectives are:
• organizing scientific meetings and dialogue
• encouraging students
• promoting Student-Scientist interaction
• working towards the mass popularization of science in Pakistan
• nurturing collaborations and developing a feel for scientific resource sharing, and
• enabling practical scientific exposure.
This is a complete list of all the events organized by the Khwarizmi Science Society covering a wide range of subjects from biological to physical sciences, medicine, engineering and the history and sociology of science as well as its relevance to the Pakistani society.

Public Lecture:
**Stellar Pot - Nature’s Recycling Factory
Speaker**: Dr. Jameel-Un Nabi,
Faculty Of Engineering sciences, GIK Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology, Topi, NWFP, Pakistan
Venue: Department of Physics, University of the Punjab, Lahore
Time and Date: 27th Feburary,2009.
Introduction:
The iron running in our blood, calcium in our teeth, the sand we walk on, were all made inside stars. All elements heavier than boron are formed by nuclear reactions inside stars. We owe our existence to these stellar pots. Stars live for millions to billions of years and then it is a fierce battle for their survival. Ultimately they loose the battle and the resulting supernovae disperses the synthesized elements in the universe. Nature does not know of waste products and from stellar dust many more stars are created. In this talk we would discuss the birth and demise of stars. It is for the audience to decide if it is more of stellar science or abstract art.
