By sharing his own experiences as a postgraduate student, he demonstrates how teaching not only fosters better communication and understanding but also serves as a catalyst for new research ideas. Ajantha unveils the transformative power of guiding and inspiring the next generation of scientists, proving that teaching, far from being a burden, is a fulfilling and essential part of the scientific journey.
