Public engagement
Public lectures, school visits and festival appearances will be listed here as they happen.
Explainers
Short pieces on what wave optics does to a gravitational wave, written for readers outside the field, are being prepared. In the meantime the science case provides explanations aimed for scientists. Several results have been presented in recorded talks, which are technical but go further than a paper does in explaining why the work was done that way. The GW231123 result is discussed at length in A Magnified and Diffracted Black Hole Merger, an interview for Cosmology Talks.
