Take a look Inside the Perimeter

View in browser TAKE A LOOK INSIDE THE PERIMETER A message from Greg Dick Executive Director, Advancement and Sr. Director, Public Engagement At Perimeter, the science we do is ambitious, hard, and unpredictable. And yet we know the work, done mostly on blackboards, will eventually change everything humans see, touch, and do.   These past few months have been very energizing, involving a significant amount of in-person activity that is uniquely Perimeter. We partnered with the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario to deliver the first-ever Emmy Noether National Forum and opened our doors to over 800 students, teachers, general public and our local partners for exclusive screenings of the IMAX film, Secrets of the Universe.   There is much more excitement to share - and it is a pleasure to get to share some of that excitement with you in our newsletter. Enjoy! Recent Events The Honourable Elizabeth Dowdeswell Moderates Inaugural Emmy Noether National Virtual Forum On Tuesday, May 2, Perimeter Institute had the privilege of welcoming the Honourable Elizabeth Dowdeswell to host the Emmy Noether National Virtual Forum. Four inspiring women physicists at the forefront of science and discovery spoke of qualities essential for exploration and discovery: Curiosity, Creativity, Collaboration, and Courage. The brilliant young women who spoke are poised to make discoveries that will revolutionize our understanding of nature. This will unlock world-changing technologies to build a better world.   "We absolutely need the visions and voices of women to be heard. It will undoubtedly deliver better outcomes for society." – Elizabeth Dowdeswell, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario Quote from May 2, 2023  Read Now Watch Recording Here Inspiring Future Women in Science On March 7th, we were able to host this highly anticipated event in person, for the first time since the pandemic.
