Title:     Spreading the Word of Physics: Outreach at Perimeter Institute

Abstract: To most of the population, physics is an abstract, incomprehensible subject about which they know very little. This is an unfortunate situation as physics is a field of endeavour that is both vitally important to modern society from a practical viewpoint and also intrinsically fascinating. This presentation will overview Perimeter's Institute outreach efforts that are designed to share the wonders of physics with the wider community. Amongst other things, it will look at a professionally produced educational video for high school students on the subject of dark matter recently created by Perimeter Institute.


Stimulants available 15 minutes before the talk.
