Continuous research 🔬 is the heartbeat of scientific progress 🚀. Every day, scientists explore, experiment, and observe to discover new knowledge 💡. Without continuous research, our understanding of the world 🌎 would remain limited and many problems would remain unsolved ❌.

A major benefit is discovering new knowledge 📘. Research allows us to refine existing theories, correct mistakes, and explore unknown areas 🧪. Each study adds a small piece to the larger puzzle of understanding how the universe works 🧩.

Research also drives innovation and technology 🛠️. Many tools, devices, and medical advances 🏥 exist because scientists never stop experimenting. From life-saving drugs to advanced computers 💻, continuous research turns ideas into real solutions.

Another important aspect is solving global challenges 🌍. Research helps fight diseases, tackle climate change 🌡️, and find sustainable ways to use resources 🌱. Every advance, no matter how small, can have a big impact on humanity 💖.

Continuous research also encourages critical thinking and collaboration 🤝. Scientists question assumptions, share findings, and learn from each other. This teamwork ensures that discoveries are accurate, useful, and meaningful 📊.

Ultimately, research inspires curiosity and progress 🌟. It encourages asking questions ❓, exploring possibilities ✨, and never assuming “we already know.” Every experiment brings us closer to a smarter, healthier, and more innovative world 🌈.

Honouring the visionaries who shaped India’s scientific legacy and inspiring the young minds who will shape its future. 🌟🔬

This National Science Day, we celebrate curiosity, innovation and the power of ideas that can change the world. Keep exploring, keep questioning, keep shining! 🚀✨

In most offices, we celebrate answers. But the real power? It lives in the questions no one’s asking.

Enter: the Chief Curiosity Officer—not a gimmick title, but a mindset every modern organization needs.

Because curiosity fuels innovation. Curiosity challenges “how we’ve always done it.” Curiosity is the engine behind every breakthrough, pivot, and transformation.

Yet in many workplaces, curiosity is crushed by over-optimization. People are too busy delivering to ask why, what if, or is there a better way?

A Chief Curiosity Officer (whether it’s an official role or a cultural mission) exists to keep questioning alive. They:

Spark experiments, not just execution.

Create safe spaces for “what if” thinking.

Celebrate learning—even when it looks like failure.

Remind everyone: status quo is optional.

In a world changing faster than your org chart, curiosity isn’t a soft skill—it’s survival.

So maybe the next hire you need isn’t a strategist, analyst, or executor. Maybe it’s someone brave enough to ask, “What aren’t we seeing yet?”

Curiosity doesn’t slow you down. It propels you forward.

WEEK 11 - COMPULSORY QUESTION 1

For an artist, a manifesto expresses their beliefs, goals, and unique style, helping them connect with their audience. It clarifies their artistic direction and can also convey social messages, using art to inspire change. My group’s manifesto captures the free and creative vibe we were aiming for. The mix of colours, organic lines, and uneven layout help us express our individuality and originality without being confined to any rules. The combination of handwritten text and drawings gives it a casual feel, while the different styles and sizes of text create a visual rhythm that naturally catches the eye.

My manifesto is "STORYTELLING, NOT SELLING." This idea was inspired by a training article from NASP (National Association of Sales Professionals). I’ve always prioritised results over process when it comes to design, but after reading their article, I realised that storytelling sparks curiosity and attracts attention. I’ve often been someone who focuses on the outcome rather than the process, but through this manifesto, I now believe that by focusing on a solid process, I can create designs that will naturally succeed and sell themselves.

Even if a movie has a sad ending, if the process is good, the audience will still like it.

My second manifesto is "Curiosity didn’t kill the designers". If I look into the famous saying "Curiosity killed the cat," I realise that it actually originated from something quite different. It was originally "Care killed the cat," where "care" meant "worry". I approach this saying from a different perspective: curiosity is, in fact, care. As a designer, I often worry that I might end up creating generic designs. However, as long as I have curiosity and interest, finding my unique style becomes much easier. When I attend studios, workshops, or digital, I don’t engage with subjects I’m not interested in. Of course, I’ll complete the assignments, but those areas don’t spark much interest in me. This way, I can easily identify what I’m genuinely passionate about. In my recent digital class, I learned app design and video design. I had to use Premiere Pro for video design, which didn’t excite me as much, but I enjoyed app design because it involved using Figma, a tool I love. In this way, curiosity leads to interest, and that helps me grow as a designer.

Through CTS-B, my perspective on other classes and assignments has changed. While I was feeling lost, I found motivation through the manifesto, which encouraged me to approach my work with more detailed research and interest. I was thinking about how to create my zine, and then I decided to focus on the project that I had spent the most time on recently—my work about the Korean military. The project came together very quickly. I guess people really do need to work on what they love.
