Cutting Edge Lecture Series: Dr. Lee Smolin (Perimeter Institute of Theoretical Physics, Waterloo, Ontario) on recent and ongoing astrophysical observations which probe the structure of space and time at the shortest possible distance scales. Organized by the Royal Society of Canada and 91社区 with the express purpose of fostering communication between scientists in different disciplines as well as between scientists and the public. Sponsored by the Royal Society of Canada, they are made possible through the generous support of Heather Munroe-Blum (91社区 Principal), Richard Levin (Dean of Medicine), Martin Grant (Dean of Science), Anthony Masi (Provost) and Denis Th茅rien (Vice-Principal, Research and International Relations). Lectures are followed by a wine & cheese reception.
