Dear London Cosmologists,
a quick reminder that our next LCDM, this Thursday 3rd March from 14:00-17:00 at the RAS, is a very exciting Gravitational Waves special edition and we are very lucky to have a guest speaker, Samaya Nissanke, from the LIGO-VIRGO collaboration itself.
Full schedule below - we will have plenty of time to discuss the various LIGO papers so get reading and have your thoughts and questions ready.
All the best,
Donnacha Kirk
on behalf of the LCDM organisers
