What if we told you that your morning cup of chai could get a scientific twist this Sunday? Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) is back with a new workshop, Fun with Network, which is a part of the Chai and Why? sessions. These sessions include informal discussions on interesting scientific issues outside of a traditional academic setting in a science café format. It aims to engage the public who are interested in science but generally don’t have an opportunity to interact with and discuss their views. 

This weekend’s topic is centred on a question: What do roads, friendships, and codes have in common? The answer is that all three can be modelled using a graph, which is a network of vertices connected by edges.
