I basically stopped tweeting a few months ago. I still get a lot of interesting info from twitter, but I didn't know what I was contributing anymore.

Origin and future of CMB telescopes (with me inside them): earlier this year in a @SimonsObs SAT and this afternoon underneath Penzias and Wilson's Horn Antenna.

I used the word "corollary" incorrectly on a telecon yesterday, as if I didn't already have enough to keep me awake at night.

New paper day, attempting to answer the question - are any distant galaxies too big for our cosmological model? 🐘

In this study we use Extreme Value Statistics (EVS), a method for predicting the most massive object from a given distribution

TFW you get up at 7am whilst on holiday to finish an application, then rather than sending properly it just silently sits in your outbox over the weekend. 😕

Tests of gravity on cosmological scales 👇
Mainly purple (WL RSD) versus red dashed (CMB RSD).
ALT 2 sets of ellipses, several overlapping and others shifted.

Is there a course somewhere someone can recommend which would help me practice the skill of /looking at a problem and then writing down the likelihood/?

Some old normal thing of sitting in a room with lots of other people to talk about cosmology.

Lots of people keeping up the grand tradition of using the conference programme as a fan.

Exciting news 📢 I have a senior technician post available in my group. If you are interested in using iPSC neuron and microglia models to study neurodegeneration (and make lovely pictures like the one below) this is for you! krb-sjobs.brassring.com/TGne…📢 Please RT and share widely!

Ugh. Council elections, how do they work? What I want is "No Tories". I have 3 votes to distribute amongst these candidates. I'd like to do a 2:1 between Lab:LD, but how am I supposed to know which are the 'lead' candidates??

Surely a list system would be better. And also... do Lab/Lib/Con do their candidate selection such that they appear together on the alphabetised ballot?

Academia friends! Is the fact that the reliability of student attendance has gone (way) down a global thing, or am I just seeing it because I have moved institute / this particular cohort etc?

Of course, there are great reasons why it would be down! I am maybe surprised at how much though.
