Great science belongs to everyone.

Science is humanity’s most powerful tool to understand the universe we inhabit and to improve our lives. The language of science (mathematics) is the only truly universal language.

So everyone — students, teachers, researchers, science enthusiasts, political and social leaders — can and should participate in the process of science.

Below, some members of the Perimeter community explain why they are part of the equation.
