Excited to announce that registrations are now opened for the Tonale Winter School, of which I am now officially an organizer! This is a well-known cosmology winter school addressed to advanced MSc students, PhD students, and junior postdocs, which started in 2007 and takes place in Tonale Pass, Italy. The XIX Edition will take place from November 29 to December 5, and will cover gravitational waves, supernovae uncertainties, cosmological tensions, and multimessenger cosmology. I can state without doubt that this year will feature a superb selection of lecturers: Héctor Villarrubia, Madeleine Ginolin, Marco Raveri, and Vivian Poulin (who, fun fact, was my roommate back in 2014, when we attended as students). Registration is open here until October 15: however, since places are limited and the expected number of applications is very high, we strongly recommend applying as soon as possible.
Tonale Winter School
This week I’m travelling to Passo del Tonale to lecture at the 2023 Tonale Winter School on Cosmology. The weather is fortunately fantastic, with clear skies and a lot of snow (below is the view from my hotel window)! For those of you who might be interested, below are the slides I will use during the lectures, and the questions which will be discussed in the working group sessions:
Lecture 1: Basics of theoretical and observational cosmology [Slides]
Lecture 2: Measuring the Hubble constant – the Hubble tension [Slides]
Lecture 3: How (not) to solve the Hubble tension? [Slides]
Lecture 4: Other tensions and challenges for ΛCDM [Slides]
I have really fond memories from the time I attended as a student in 2014 (fun fact: my roommate was Vivian Poulin, now one of the big names in the Hubble tension game), and I’m looking forward to an exciting week!
Tonale Winter School registration open
Registration for the 2023 Tonale Winter School on Cosmology, where I will be lecturing, is now open. Besides cosmological tensions, the other topics covered this year are stochastic gravitational waves backgrounds, full-sky surveys, and the effective field theory of structure formation. Please see the official school page for further details. Only a maximum of 40 participants will be accepted and, given the large number of applications usually received, it is strongly recommended to register as soon as possible. Note that I am not involved in the selection process, so please reach out to the organizers if you have any questions.
Tonale Winter School on Cosmology
I’m pleased to announce that I will be lecturing at the Tonale Winter School on Cosmology later this year. This is a well-known cosmology winter school addressed to advanced MSc students, PhD students, and junior postdocs, which started in 2007 and takes place in Passo del Tonale, Italy. I myself attended as a student in 2014. This year I will deliver 4 lectures on cosmological tensions. More details, including the official school page, will follow later!
