Shohini Ghose is a multi-award-winning quantum physicist and Professor of Physics and Computer Science at Wilfrid Laurier University. She is the President (2019-2020) of the Canadian Association of Physicists, the Co-Editor in Chief of the Canadian Journal of Physics, and the Director of the Laurier Centre for Women in Science. She was a 2014 TED Fellow and is a 2018 TED Senior Fellow. In 2017 she was elected to the Royal Society of Canada’s College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists. Her book Clues to the Cosmos was released in India in December 2019.
The book is a collection of scientific stories and part memoirs of the author written in simple language. Beginning from questioning our origins, the book ends ‘In Search of The Future’.
It shares interesting anecdotes about the discoveries and is an innovative way to get young children and especially girls to get interested in physics. However, the book can also be enjoyed by adults and would be a good addition in the field of liberal science.
