Space Scientist Dr Dipen Bhattacharya's Interview with Arara Kar for Bangla Radio
This week’s program presented in the first section an interesting discussion between a young Arara Kar and Dr. Dipen Bhattacharya (from the University of California, Riverside) who was in Australia recently to launch a gamma ray telescope from Alice Springs. The discussion covered supernova, the launch of the gamma ray telescope, the solar system and the night sky, and the effects of climate change. Dr. Bhattacharya, a prominent member of Bangladesh Environmental Network (BEN), also talked about his current activities in Bangladesh. The second section covered the impacts of environmental pollution, particularly on fresh water availability in Bangladesh, and approaches to mitigate these effects. The songs ‘amay bhashailirey’ and ‘manush manusher jonney’ played this week were sung by Indian singers Manna Dey and Bhupen Hazarika. This week’s program was produced and presented by Ajoy Kar.
