Defining Gravity, Defying Gravity: The Skateboarding Physicist
For David "Doddy" Marsh, a postdoctoral researcher at Canada's Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, skateboarding and physics are essential components of a unified theory of self. His dual passions both complement and juxtapose each other; only in combination do they complete the equation of who he is.

About PI
Perimeter Institute is the world’s largest research hub devoted to theoretical physics. The independent Institute was founded in 1999 to foster breakthroughs in the fundamental understanding of our universe, from the smallest particles to the entire cosmos. Research at Perimeter is motivated by the understanding that fundamental science advances human knowledge and catalyzes innovation, and that today’s theoretical physics is tomorrow’s technology. Located in the Region of Waterloo, the not-for-profit Institute is a unique public-private endeavour, including the Governments of Ontario and Canada, that enables cutting-edge research, trains the next generation of scientific pioneers, and shares the power of physics through award-winning educational outreach and public engagement.
