This is part of its efforts to popularize science to the general public and students who are pursuing science as their career. TNSF attempt to focus on students on higher science as everyone knows that learning of science at college within the curriculum is not enough to acquire holistic knowledge of science at the appropriate time. Hence, to fill the gap between what students are acquiring through the curriculum and what it is required, TNSF is planning its activities on higher science to students who are pursuing higher education.

Abstract
Microbes are the dark matter of the living world. To view them through the narrow lens of disease and devastation would be doing an enormous disservice to them. Microorganisms are the largest primary energy producers on Earth, and regulate the bulk of Earth’s carbon-oxygen cycle. By feeding on one another, microbes digest, produce, process, ferment, breakdown, recycle, reformulate and synthesise chemicals faster and more efficiently than any human machine ever made. All life on Earth evolved from microbes and they live within every creature that is bigger than them. Viruses are a part of us—billions of diverse microbes and viruses live within our gut, inside our lungs, and skin. We cannot outnumber or outmatch viruses. We have to make peace with them, to understand them, and to treat them as if our very existence depends on them. This talk will prompt us to rethink our relationship with viruses and the microbial world.
