So what I love about it is that it's like a research institution that's like a private public partnership.

So like his money is highly leveraged and like the Canadian government supports it of just for theoretical physics.

And so it's neat because you can imagine, you know, if you cared about the product, you care about research,

Having something where the whole institution is dedicated to that is a very different vibe than, again, like a university where you're pooling your eight auditoriums or your dorms or things like that.

And it's all these different research directions that are together sharing some resources.

And you're kind of like cross-sectioning the field.

And then it's the reputation of that place that draws some talent in or not.

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.
