Discussion Character
- Exploratory
- Technical explanation
- Homework-related
Main Points Raised
- Patrick seeks suggestions for websites that provide comprehensive lists of upcoming workshops in theoretical particle physics and mathematical physics.
- One participant recommends a specific website for conferences but expresses uncertainty about its comprehensiveness for the requested subjects.
- Another participant shares a link to a regularly updated list of quantum gravity-related conferences and mentions that it includes past and upcoming events.
- This participant also highlights the importance of geographical location in finding relevant workshops, asking Patrick about his home base and preferences for regions such as North America or Europe.
- A suggestion is made to check a list maintained by a German research institute that includes links to announcements for upcoming meetings.
- Patrick acknowledges the usefulness of the references provided and notes that he can cover the eastern half of Canada and the USA, but mentions that it may be too late to register for most workshops in 2010.
- Patrick expresses interest in visiting Perimeter or Penn State, hoping to connect with acquaintances there.
