Not sure if the researchers' contact information is listed, but the director's email is at the bottom of the page.

For newcomers who don't recognize jacquesm and why the idea of him donating Lego is ... interesting (in a scary way, depending on how much living space Mr Norvig has I guess), please see https://jacquesmattheij.com/sorting-two-metric-tons-of-lego/.
At the moment I'm not seeing images on that page, but perhaps it's my problem.

The images are broken because e.g. https://jacquesmattheij.com/sorting-two-metric-tons-of-lego/... is actually at https://jacquesmattheij.com/IMG_0031.JPG
They just need a forward slash in to make the path root-relative.

#15The funding estimates seem a bit low. Lego projects can easily run into the billions of microdollars.

Ai, thank you for pointing that out, I will fix it. That happened because of moving the blog around and re-installing the engine that generates it, apparently the image paths got messed up.
edit: ok, all images work again, apologies!

#18I love that this demonstrates the level of play Peter Norvig still brings to his life and work (also obvious if you read some of his blog posts).
I'm just highly amused that there is a little Lego Peter Norvig running around...

#19A few of the images on this site make it clear that LI2 is fudging its diversity numbers. That's concerning; if I were Hogwarts or Stark Industries, I'd pull out of the partnership.
The diversity numbers are accurate. The numbers are for employees; some of the images depict non-employee visitors, some of whom are people of non-yellow color.
