I am part of the equation

Great science is for everyone. Meet some of the people who are part of the equation at Perimeter.

Great science belongs to everyone.

Science is humanity's most powerful tool to understand the universe we inhabit and to improve our lives. The language of science (mathematics) is the only truly universal language.

So everyone -- students, teachers, researchers, science enthusiasts, political and social leaders -- can and should participate in the process of science.

Below, some members of the Perimeter community explain why they are part of the equation.

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.
