Title:  Story about a dodecahedron

Abstract:  The Seifert-Weber dodecahedral space is a famous closed hyperbolic 3-manifold, one of the first to be discovered.  I'll describe some computations that I've done, together with Francesco Lin, on the dodecahedral space and some questions about small eigenvalues on hyperbolic manifolds which motivated them in the first place.  I'll also raise a question about (unlikely) intersections of geodesics on hyperbolic manifolds inspired by these computations.
