To both cosmology and string theory communities: do not use simple phenomenological parametrizations (e.g., truncated Taylor expansions) of dark energy equation of state to conclude whether or not dark energy is dynamical -- see our recent paper: arxiv.org/abs/2503.22529

@JossBlandHawtho What terrible news. Brilliant, funny, a great friend and colleague. Hard to believe he’s gone

Still reeling at the loss of my dear friend and colleague - Nick Kaiser - a very gifted cosmologist living in Paris.

Today, Glenn D. Starkman from Case Western Reserve University (@cwru) is giving a seminar at #IFT about ☝️flat ΛCDM: what is it and may we choose it? Thank you!!

We are offering PhD positions in Particle Physics, Astroparticle Physics and Cosmology at the Institute for Theoretical Physics (IFT) in Madrid (@ift_uam_csic) through La Caixa Doctoral INPhINIT Fellowships. See: ift.uam-csic.es/en/news/la-cai… (application deadline: January 25, 2023)

We are proud to present the first paper from the new COMPACT Collaboration!

@lufthansa You just cancelled the LHR-Frankfurt leg of my trip from London to Detroit tomorrow. I am traveling with 2 cats. I can't change to another airline. Please help.

@giffgaff you suddenly stopped accepting my credit card for automatic monthly renewals and won’t let me use any other card. I am flying tonight and urgently need mobile service restarted

@skdh you can, but somebody has to bid at the auction.

Can you NFT a paper to cover a journal publication fee? (Only half kidding.)

@PhysicsCWRU Congratulations Lydia!!

@PhysicsCWRU @cwrusgs Congratulations Quinn!!!!!

Congratulations to Master of Science in Physics candidate Quinn Taylor who successfully defended his thesis, "How the Universe postpones the evaporation and curtails the quantum spreading of black holes." We commend your excellent work!🎉Details @ arxiv.org/abs/2201.08948 @cwrusgs

Excited by arxiv.org/abs/2201.03684 Craig Copi and I just posted -- stars and their remnants (also potential dark matter concentrations) can cause measurable signals ("wave tails") as they influence the propagation of gravitational waves through the universe. It's just GR.

We are hiring a postdoc in cosmology for a joint (2+1)-year position at CWRU (@cwru) in Cleveland, Ohio, United States and the IFT (@ift_uam_csic) in Madrid, Spain, starting in Fall 2022. Follow the thread for details. [1/7]

#sharethelight. Happy Chanukah!

@currys @CurrysServices you said you wanted to help (after failing twice to deliver my new oven), you asked me to dm, I sent all my details you requested , then nothing! Silence. Will you deliver my oven today as promised?

Does @currys ever deliver when they promise? Does @currys ever actually follow through when they ask you to switch to DM? So far, my evidence suggests the answer is no to both questions.

Does @currys ever deliver when it promises?

@CurrysServices Tried DM. Responses at snails pace, while my holiday dinner Thursday approaches.

@gstarkman Hi Glenn. We're so sorry to hear about this. Please DM us. We'd love to help resolve this for you - Char

@currys has been impossible to deal with. They have failed twice to deliver our oven. Now we will have to have our friends over for our thanksgiving holiday, with a half functioning oven. I will be posting every where I can not to use curry’s

@currys still struggling to get timely customer service as your repeated failure to deliver our new oven as promised is threatening to ruin our holiday plans
