One week from today, barring anything catastrophic, I will be speaking at the Science in the 21st Century workshop at the Perimeter Institute. Sabine Hossenfelder has a nice run-down of the program at Backreaction, and it sounds really interesting.
I have my talk more or less ready– I started making slides a week or two ago, because I wasn’t sure how long it would take, doing talk prep in between diaper changes and baby feedings. I had hoped to get a couple of colleagues to listen to it, but that’s probably not going to happen, so I’ll be working without much of a net (Kate’s heard me run through a rough version, but then she’s heard me rant at length about these topics before, so it’s not exactly new to her…). I think it should be fun, all the same.
Registration is closed, so even if you happen to be in the right part of Canada, you can’t attend. Given the crowd of highly technical people assembled for this, though, I’d be surprised if it wasn’t live-blogged or podcasted or some such. If I find out that somebody’s doing that sort of thing, I’ll post a link here.
All the talks will be recorded and be available on PIRSA usually within less than 24 hours.
