This week I cover a proposal to confirm the possible Dirac nature of neutrinos exploiting a subtle correlation between cosmological and terrestrial measurements, how to determine the sound horizon and H0 from BAO independently of the details of recombination, and a possible interpretation of the recent detection of the stochastic gravitational wave background at nHz frequencies by NANOGrav as being due to cosmic strings. Enjoy and have a nice weekend!
