Quote from film/book "Tracks" about Robyn Davidson's mostly solo 1,700 mile trek across Western Australian deserts with 4 camels and her dog: "It seems to me the universe gave us three things to make life bearable: hope, jokes, and dogs. But the greatest of these gifts was dogs."

Just found out about Anna's Archive, the FAQ calls it "The largest truly open library in human history" annas-archive.li/faq Wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna%27... A note of thanks to @anitaleirfall.bsky.social, saw it from an article she posted

I found this very interesting: 56 slides of Berkeley Cosmology Group 2025 introductions, one slide per person on their research and interests. Many are active on bsky. ==> cosmology.lbl.gov/talks/BCCP_2... BCG site cosmology.lbl.gov & seminars page cosmology.lbl.gov/sem_bcg_futu... #cosmology

Easily create a .html file that self-renders BOTH Markdown and LaTeX syntax within it. Doesn't even need hosting on server - just open in browser & page self-renders with internet connection. A one-liner header does the magic. The Muboard tool by Susam, creator of other great tools, like TeXMe.

Late spring evening walk at sunset uphill to the rock labyrinth that a local rock club created about 10 years ago. A large white oak tree overlooks it. Mount Diablo is barely visible in the background. Great views of the Diablo valley from up here.

Just want to say how much I enjoy the beautiful natural scenes that so many post here. One of mine is these rock cavities called tafoni, photo from Pescadero Beach, south of SF. Thanks @whereisyvette, @ultrawimp, @mcnees, @cburgescliff and others too numerous to name for your frequent scenic photos

New Quantum Cosmology series, thanks ‪@bahramshakerin.bsky.social‬ for spotting it. No website for it (at least yet) & only info I've seen about it are comments by Mark Van Raamsdonk (apparently one of the organizers) at the beginning of first talk in the series at www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfQx...

CosmoVerse: new Lectures@YourDesk series to "provide early stage researchers with an in-depth understanding of the technical details of leading measurements ... of cosmic tensions with a real focus on the underlying analysis." First video recordings: Tamara Davis and Julien Lesgourgues & schedule

Another of simon's useful web tools that he uses LLMs to code for him. He posts in his weblog how each was created, usually with prompts and transcripts showing the process. A web page links to them at tools.simonwillison.net and that page includes a link to a github repo with the code for each.

Today begins 3rd and final season of Bosch: Legacy, which followed 7 seasons of original Bosch series. Titus Welliver is awesome in this role, as convincing and riveting a character portrayal as was James Gandolfini in The Sopranos and Michael Chiklis in The Shield.

About month ago we put our multiprobe paper on the arXiv! If you've ever wondered: - what happens when dynamical dark energy models are confronted with combined probes? - what a consistent multiprobe framework means for neutrino masses? Then this could be for you! arxiv.org/abs/2502.01722

2nd Nordic Cosmology Meeting is underway at University of Helsinki, slides available for most talks. Event is from March 12 - 14. #cosmology

Saw that @alphaxiv.org now has an AI feature to create paper overviews (using Mistral OCR and Claude), so I created one for new DES paper 2503.06712. Includes figures, key findings, etc. Once created, it's publicly available to everyone at the overview link. alphaXiv also has a cosmology community.

The publicly available talks from Early Universe from Home are all now available here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2Cr...

Today the U of Helsinki Cosmology seminar series released 3 talk videos given from Jan 15 to Feb 19 by Denis Werth, Simone Blasi, and Philippa Cole. Usually they're posted shortly after the talk, but on occasion they're released in a batch like this. www.helsinki.fi/en/news/unit...

Ever been curious about what's the deal with neutrino oscillations? Look no further than this review I just posted: arxiv.org/abs/2501.08374. It's suitable for a general audience including advanced undergrads and should get people up to speed on where we are with neutrino oscillations today!

In addition to her published papers, there are at least 9 publicly available research talks by Priyamvada Natarajan on her work. Congrats to her on this award. jrdmb.netlify.app/crt.html?s1=...

Really enjoyed chatting to the CosmoVerse COST Action journal club about some work I've been doing with Tim Clifton, Dan Thomas and Phil Bull on building generalised tests of gravity in cosmology. Have a look at the video, and stay tuned for some exciting updates in the next couple of months!
