 Well, great. So I really enjoyed that. I was at the IHS. It's been over a year now and brings back very, very fond feelings, both of the great research I've done there, the great connections I've made, and just of the great human interactions I've had there. And I'm sure many of you can say the same. And I'm sure all of you, mathematicians, as people who follow, have recognized the speakers, the professors, the events on those posters, and just know that the IHS is really at the core of basic research in mathematics and physics worldwide. It's really just an integral part of world history, and we're all privileged to be associated in part of it. So there were words at the end challenge of trying to summarize a place like that in one word, and certainly freedom is a very good word that was mentioned, but I'll add another word, which is depth, the ability to use that freedom to think about the problems of the deepest possible nature that are important today, that will stay important forever, and to try to answer these questions. So let's continue with our next guest of honor. So Jim Simons is the chairman of the board and founder of Renaissance Technologies and Maryland Simons, and Jim founded the Simons Foundation, one of the great supporters of scientific research around the world. And Jim has been at the IHS several times, a very well-known mathematician as well as philanthropist and investor. Jim, Marilyn, thanks so much for being able to join us. Do you have a word that you could use to describe the institute? Jim? A one word that I would associate with IHS is unique. There's no place like it. Right. Marilyn? It's hard going last when everybody else has given such good words. My first word was inspired. My next word was unparalleled. So I think I would say peering. I feel like I'm peering into future knowledge. So I have to say peering and perceptive peering. Very good. Thanks. That's a good one. Both of you. So you've really been some of the key sponsors of the institute so much has been important thanks to your generosity. Both of you perhaps start with Jim. How did you first encounter the IHS? Can you say a few words about that and how this lifelong relationship developed? Well, when I was a mathematician, I knew about IHS. I visited here once or twice, relatively briefly, but I thought it was terrific. I interacted with, I'm trying to remember what his name was, but one of the permanent members here. It was a good interaction, as I recall, a mathematical interaction. I was very good friends with Pierre Bourguignon and who was a director. I think his predecessor, Marcel Berger, was he, am I right in that? Berger was a director here. You're a writer. Yeah. And my thesis sprung from Berger's work, so I always had a soft spot in my heart for Marcel. So, you know, I've interacted with the place, but we wanted to give money to it because it's just terrific. And our goal in the foundation is to support basic research in mathematics and science. There's no better place to support basic research than right here. Thanks. Thanks, Jim. Marilyn, would you like to add to that? Well, first I'll say how I first heard of IHS. Of course, it was through Jim. I think I was 23 or 24 years old and Jim and I were in Paris and he went off to IHS to visit Denis Sullivan, who was out there visiting. And I had a wonderful new French dress that I had bought and I hopped on the train to go out to visit Jim and Denis. I missed the correct train stop, but it became a very magical, memorable afternoon. And I just felt it was a beautiful summer and we had a barbecue and it was a beautiful, inspiring day. That's great. Yeah, thanks. Certainly, you're welcome for us. Let me ask both of you. I'll start with Marilyn. What are your hopes for the IHS going forward? What would you like to see happen there? And what would you, what would be your advice, what would you say to other prospective donors who are considering supporting the IHS? Well, it's one of the world's most outstanding research institutes. And, you know, there are good places to support and there are great places to support. And I think that IHS is on the short list of great and it, I can't speak to the mathematics, not being a mathematician, though I certainly know it has the most renowned mathematicians. But even as a non-mathematician, I'm always inspired to read the thoughts about life and culture and fundamental questions that we as humans wrestle with that come from the great thinkers at IHS. And in my office, I always have my IHS books around for inspiration and just ask Emanuel, do you have a new book coming out? So it is a great institution with the world's greatest thinkers. So it is inspiring. Yes, it certainly is. Jim, would you like to add to that? Well, that was extremely well said. And you wanted, you asked about the future. And I think it's a pretty good size as it is. I don't think it needs to grow particularly, although maybe a few more physicians wouldn't hurt. But it's a very nice size. And the facilities are now excellent. So as long as it can just continue being such a great place, I'll be perfectly happy. Thanks. Thanks. I agree. To continue to maintain its excellence, to do better, that's what we all have for it. But thanks so much, both of you, for speaking with us. I got a question from the audience, which I think we have a minute. We have, of course, many demands. You must have infinite demands on your time and generosity. And of course, we have, for example, a medical crisis right now is why we are virtual. Now, for someone who might ask themselves, why should I support mathematical and physical basic research when there are so many pressing needs around the world? What could you say to encourage them? Well, I think that applications of science are very important. But the science itself is what leads to those applications. So in fact, during this period, we've taken some money from the foundation and contributed to COVID research itself. And that's gone well. But the foundations of human knowledge lies in science and basic science. And basic science will often turn into applied science, et cetera. My favorite story is I.I. Rabie, the great physicist who discovered nuclear magnetic resonance. And he won the Nobel Prize. It was a dramatic discovery. Then a few years later, a few guys came along and said, hey, what we can analyze materials with this technique, nuclear magnetic resonance. And they won the Nobel Prize. And then finally, two guys, one of whom was at Stony Brook, actually, realized you could make pictures with this stuff. And they didn't want to call it nuclear magnetic resonance. That sounded ominous. So they called it magnetic resonance imaging. And now I.I. Rabie would be astounded to discover that there are hundreds of thousands of machines all over the world, which were there only because he discovered this piece of basic science. So you never know where it'll go. You never know where it'll go. Math as well. Yes. Yes. Thanks. That is a great story and one of so many examples we could list. Basic research turns into the research that improves and changes our lives. Thanks. Thanks again, Marilyn, Jim. It's been wonderful hearing from you.
