The link above is an interview I did for CTV’s National Affairs on a new result that could change our understanding of dark matter. Previous evidence points to dark matter not being able to interact with other dark (or regular) matter except weakly through gravity. Researchers at UBC took a look at a “cosmic train… Read more »
I am the new CTV National Affairs “Science Sensei”, and will periodically be appearing on the show to comment on recent science-related stories. This week I discuss solar flares, sun spots, space hurricanes and invisibility cloaks. Check it out.
The IQC has made a short behind the scenes video about my TEDxUW talk. The video contains a hint about some of the things I am planning in my upcoming TEDxWaterloo talk.
This coming March I am going to be explaining some the intricacies of Quantum Mechanics using Lindy Hop. To pull this off, I need your help. The goal is to get as many scenes as possible to film themselves performing the routine. The footage will then be spliced together and be incorporated into a larger… Read more »
Quantum physics, poetry, and dancing sound like completely different things. In this TEDx talk Krister Shalm explains how physics, swing dancing, and poetry are three strands that weave together to enrich his life.
I was interviewed this afternoon for CTV’s National Affairs about recent work that has been done (not by me) at Cornell University building an invisibility cloak in time. The interview was cut short due to a last minute addition of a cabinet minister, so I didn’t get to use my Moses analogy. Next time.

Some of the brightest high school students from around the world gathered at the Institute for Quantum Computing (where I work) to learn about what we do. I spoke about Bell’s Inequalities, one of the fundamental ideas… Read more »
