Tuesday next week, June 20th, the UvA Faculty of Science Computational Soft Matter seminar will be given by Willem Gispen from Faculty of Science, Utrecht University "How ‘topological clusters’ of hard spheres determine its crystal structure" CompChemUvA Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences UvA Institute of Physics Informatics Institute University of Amsterdam iop.fnwi.uva.nl/computational_…

If you are in Amsterdam in early July, please consider attending the public event at the wonderful ARTIS planetarium, as part of the GRAPPA10 conference (Mon 3rd July, 19:30). You can get your tickets here: artis.nl/en/what-do/age…

Please do attend if you are in Amsterdam! Should be a wonderful evening and celebration of astroparticle physics by my fab GRAPPA Centre colleagues, ★ govertschilling & music by arthur jeffes Penguin Cafe . Please share widely!

The list of all the awesome talks (plenary AND parallel) you can watch and discuss this year at #CosmologyfromHome2023 can be found on this link: cosmologyfromhome.com/list-of-talks-… Registration is still open (check our pinned Tweet)! Your #CfH team 🌌🏡

Paper alert from Jay Armas 🪄

Great new work by Mathis Gerdes and Sven Krippendorf Institute of Physics Amsterdam Theoretical Physics Universität München - 'CYJAX: A package for Calabi-Yau metrics with JAX' - bit.ly/42LBaHm #machinelearning #stringtheory #HEP #cosmology #fieldtheory #QFT #Python #TensorFlow #AI #JAX

Still time to register and everyone (no need to have a previous link or connection to GRAPPA Centre) is most welcome!!! Please consider spending the first few days in July in beautiful Amsterdam with wonderful speakers & contributions!!

I'm happy to talk about simulation-based inference, TMNRE/Swyft at MLSS^S 2023 in Krakow. With the engaged ML students this is a lot of fun.

Kicking-off #GRAPPA10 with the reception at the wonderful EYE film institute! 🥳

inmiddels in het artis planetarium om een superinteressante avond over kosmische mysteries te modereren, tgv 10 jaar GRAPPA Centre. volle bak (>250p) en een geweldige lineup, met Gianfranco Bertone, Daniel Baumann, Sera Markoff (@profsera.bsky.social) en Christoph Weniger.

This is one of the future directions in cosmology: Detection of the CNB! Main takeaways here are 1. Local overdensity ranges 1-100% for allowed neutrino mass ranges 2. Knowing MW mass is essential 3. There is positive/negative correlation with dark matter overdensity (continued)

Thank you so much to all our speakers and guests for joining us ⁦GRAPPA Centre⁩ ten year anniversary The talks have been amazing & so lovely to reconnect with colleagues and meet lots of new faces! Excited for the next ten years!!!

🌌We extended the registration deadline for our autumn PhD school "Exploring the Dark Universe: From Particles to Galaxies". A diverse range of topics and excellent speakers at a fantastic location! Registration open until 31st July. indico.nikhef.nl/event/4270/ GRAPPA Centre

Three heroes of GRAPPA@10: Samaya Nissanke (she/her) 🕊️❤️, Philipp Moesta and Jirina Salkova. Thanks for all your efforts!!

Save the date and please share: "QCD Meets Gravity 2024" will be in Taiwan, Dec 9-13, 2024.

Finally, some clarity about what Carrollian fluids are all about, why spontaneous boost symmetry breaking is important and how to get them from relativistic fluids: arxiv.org/abs/2308.10594

At the annual ITFA Welcome Reception, the Sander Bais prize is awarded to the best students in the theory track for outstanding academic performance in the first year. We had Dr. Jasper van Wezel present the Sander Bais award to Hidde Stoffels the best student of 2022/2023.
