I think there is value to this kind of cross-sectioning research by the product or by the discipline.

And Perimeter is an instantiation of that, but with the downside of it being in just one place in Waterloo, Ontario, where his company was and things like that.

Yeah, but these packages are for research funding and things like that.

And research is, I guess, people are expensive.

So that's where these things scale and sound like fancy numbers.

But I mean, yeah.

But at Brown, it would be very much like an Ivy League professor sounds cool.

You're teaching a lot.

But again, you're just kind of at a university that has one reputation for other reputations.

I don't know, like that type of vibe of like within the US system, Harvard will get more money than Brown would.

Yeah.

And then versus at least at Perimeter, it's kind of a startup vibe, but really in principle could be.

And then you try to make it that, which is fun, but we'll see if they let, yeah.

Yeah, so I do my research there.

So I do my celestialography research and it's basically like your faculty.

You don't have to teach.

You mentor mostly like master students up.

And then you're, but they're more forgiving or like the kind of institutional things that you're helping with.

And so normally it's like, instead of being on committees that are just like in a big department at a university, we don't care, you're closer to being able to help guide the institute sometimes.

And so it's kind of fun because you get to think, okay, like we're this institute that has like outreach teams, that has like teaching teams separate, like that really value each of those facets of physics.
