Math may be the language of the universe, and brilliant minds and technology may have unlocked many of the secrets of the cosmos. But the pursuit of knowledge and insight always begins with the same thing: Curiosity.
Join us for a special recording of CBC Radio’s IDEAS, featuring groundbreaking Perimeter Institute researcher Asimina Arvanitaki. In an adaptation of a talk she recently delivered in her native Greece, Asimina will highlight the role curiosity has played in her own passion for science and in the history of scientific discovery. And in a wide-ranging chat with IDEAS host Nahlah Ayed, they’ll cover such subjects as the importance of fundamental research, the responsibility of scientists to the public, and the role of AI in scientific research.
Your ticket will be valid until 5:45 PM, so all guests have enough time to be seated. The talk will be livestreamed via Perimeter's YouTube channel with a recording available following the event.
