Scientists are ignored

November 5, Saturday, 2022

I am talking about my own country, I am talking about the scientists of my own country, I am talking about the way they are being treated in our country.

For any country, its scientists are its pride. Because they can do things that are beyond the ability of ordinary people. In the recent virus, the covid-19 attack that spread across the world, we all looked to scientists for protection against it because they could have invented a vaccine for us. In other words, it can be seen from all aspects, Superman, Batman or Iron Man are not our superheroes, but doctors and scientists are the real superheroes for us.

But the case of scientists in our country is completely different. Here the person who has more power is respected and hated on the one hand. Although the abominations do not come to the fore, the things for which he is respected are highlighted again and again, much like cricket matches won by India.

An incident that happened recently with a scientist will be able to tell you how our country treats a scientist.

The day after yesterday, an article was published in a news portal where a scientist claims that he has found some harmful ingredients in eggplant that work as partners in the creation of cancer cells. He mentions the characteristics of the substances that produce cancer cells and what the substances are. Although the amount of harmful elements (lead, lead, mercury) is very low, the risk of cancer due to excess intake is very high. He also said there that his future research work will be the source of those harmful elements and that they do not return to eggplant.

Due to such discovery he was invited to appear on a live talk show on a popular TV channel of our country. But he did not understand that he was invited to appear on a live talk show to insult him. In due course she appeared on the live talk show and faced various questions from the three girls journalists. Three journalists were questioning the scientist in such a way that he was embarrassed. So here are some sample questions,

Journalist- Why did not you hand over the information to the government instead of publishing the harmful ingredients that you have found in the eggplants that are helpful in making our cancer cells? As if the government can stop common people from eating eggplant, or ban eggplant.

Then the scientist told the journalists, the matter is not so serious, so it is not worth revealing it to the Prime Minister, and it is not so serious that brinjal should be banned.

Journalist- So now that the common people know about the harmful elements of your eggplant, now it will not have any effect? Common people who learned about the harmful elements will have a huge effect on their farming and even they will stop farming, because people will not want to eat eggplant after knowing about the harmful elements.

That is, the intention of the journalist was that if a scientist does research, he should do it secretly, if the results of the research are harmful to the common people, then it should be kept secret. Only in cases where no harmful substances are found in the research, only beneficial substances are to be disclosed. But research is done to find out both harmful and beneficial substances.

Also the three journalist harassed the scientist in various ways and embarrassed them as if his discovery, the result of the research, was not beneficial to the people, but causing more harm to the people.
