First visit to PI

Lillian, Bibi, Grandpa Jim, and I visited Latham's work this weekend.  We drove out to Waterloo to see his office at the Perimeter Institute.



FIRST IMPRESSION:
The main conference room (photo on the right) looks a bit like the Hilton Hotel conference room from Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (photo on the left).

Lillian loved the ubiquitous chalkboards.
Here she is explaining the f0 electron orbital.

 

We also tried to be mischievous by outlining each other and making funny drawings inside our own silhouettes. (From left to right: Grandpa Jim, Latham, Bibi, me, Lillian)

At the Science Center

Right now, at the Science Center, there is a circus exhibit.  Lillian pretended to be a weight-lifter, taunted poison frogs, talked to herself in the funny mirror, and slept soundly (in our new car) on the way home.
