Very excited to attend (and, later this afternoon, speak) at a Gravitational Wave symposium hosted by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences) in Stockholm.

A symposium is not only a chance to listen to great talks (like the one by Samaya Nissanke (she/her) 🕊️❤️), but also to meet new and old friends. Several Oskar Klein Centre members organised and participated in the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences symposium on gravitational wave research.
