Science in Pakistan served as an extreme level national pride and from junior scientists to top scientists are bestowed with national prizes and honors each and every year. However, these honors are not roughly restricted to Pakistan's academic scientists. Foreign scientists are also bestowed with these honors and publicly televised their achievements. The word "Professor" occupies a unique role in Pakistan's society and its roughly equivalent to any descent military rank in the society. Each and every year, the Government of Pakistan delegated and invited scientists from all over the world, by issuing special visas, to attend seven day long International Nathiagali Summer College on Physics where scientists, from all over the world, are visited in specially designated hotels especially made for scientists by the government.

Famous quotes containing the word image:
“No man hath any quarrel to me. My remembrance is very free and clear from any image of offence done to any man.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“That myth—that image of the madonna-mother—has disabled us from knowing that, just as men are more than fathers, women are more than mothers. It has kept us from hearing their voices when they try to tell us their aspirations . . . kept us from believing that they share with men the desire for achievement, mastery, competence—the desire to do something for themselves.”
—Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)
“The island dreams under the dawn
And great boughs drop tranquillity;
The peahens dance on a smooth lawn,
A parrot sways upon a tree,
Raging at his own image in the enamelled sea.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
