Subscribe to RSS feedI knew the Perimeter Institute was big, but enough to bump Kitchener to the second highest concentration of scientists in municipalities of its size in Canada?
(And yes I'm kidding that the PI is all that there is in Waterloo :) )

Profile
Dave Bacon is a theoretical ski bum who is also a pseudo professor. His research is on quantum computing, his scientific passions extend to everything in physics, mathematics, computer science and beyond, and his personal pleasures include making wine, playing poker, skiing, camping, and daydreaming (although not all of those at the same time.)
Nothing he says on this blog should be construed as having anything to do with his employer or his dog.

Perhaps it should be noted that "of its size" is significant. Kitchener-Waterloo has a scientist/engineer ratio of 4.9%, which is substantially above the national average of 4.6% -- but all the major cities are higher, like Toronto at 6.2%.
None of this changes the fact that PI is teh roxxor.
