Quo Fuit places 7 dated presences for Roger Penrose across 7 places, from 1956 to 1983.
Each one keeps the sentence it was taken from and a link to its source.

Every dot is a place Roger Penrose is documented in, on a dated record. The interactive globe carries the full detail.

Open Quo Fuit to see these 7 presences on the
globe, filter them by date, and follow the journey year by year.
In each of these, a source puts Roger Penrose and the place in the same dated sentence without stating
that Roger Penrose was there. They are kept apart from the timeline above for exactly that reason:
a mention is not a presence, and Quo Fuit does not quietly promote one into the other.
1957year
St John's College, Cambridgementioned“Hodge, Penrose received his PhD in algebraic geometry at St John's College, Cambridge, in 1957, with his thesis titled "Tensor Methods in Algebraic Geometry" supervised by the algebraist and geometer John A.”source: Wikipedia: Roger Penrose

Yeshiva Universitymentioned“He later held visiting positions at Yeshiva University, Princeton and Cornell University during 1966–67 and 1969.”source: Wikipedia: Roger Penrose
Two people documented in the same place in the same year is a correlation, not a meeting.
Quo Fuit will never say they met without a source that says so.
How to read this page
Every line above is a dated fact taken from a source, with the sentence it came from and a link
back to it. Nothing is inferred, and a gap in the record is not evidence that someone was elsewhere.
A tag says how the fact is carried by its source: documented a structured,
explicitly dated record, attested a sentence that states the person was there,
mentioned a sentence that ties the person to the place without stating presence.
Sentences quoted from Wikipedia are available under CC BY-SA 4.0. Public domain books come from
Project Gutenberg. Quo Fuit claims no rights over these sources.
See Roger Penrose on a 3D globe, filter the record by date, and cross this life with another to find
where the two overlap.
