Others soak in blue, seeking wisdom. Yellow sparks curiosity, turning wonder into creativity. Every colour tells a story, every shade a new perspective. This Holi, let’s celebrate the Colors of Learning - Bright, Bold, and Full of Wonder.

How Do Whales Talk? And What Can That Teach Us? In a fascinating session with Dr. Giovanni Petri, students explored how AI and network science are helping researchers decode whale communication. Dr. Petri’s research with Project CETI reveals that whale clans have distinct accents and even learn from their neighbors—just like humans! The session wasn’t just about whales, it was also about how intelligence, learning, and communication shape the world around us. Thank you, Dr. Petri, for an inspiring session on the hidden language of nature!
