Does look good. Wonder if she'll be giving a similar talk to us in March next year?

She hasn't given us a lecture title yet, as she wanted to define the topic of the talk after the Planck 2014 cosmology release. Suspect it will be a fascinating evening.

I'd love to go to that if I have that time free.

Did you all read this BBC news article (one month ago) about the gravitational wave founders admission that they are not as confident in their results as they initially were?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-27935479

So would these gravitational waves prove the "cosmic inflation" theory? Does anyone actually like to the "cosmic inflation" theory to be true?! I personally find the theory rather ugly but I have no scientific justification to criticise it 🙂

Tej yes I have read that article. I do not know whether you have heard that the Planck Team are now going to collaborate with the BICEP 2 Team on the data. I have always been open minded about inflation especially as there is more than one model. At moment I am waiting to see what happens with the Planck data.

Hey Brian, I think you gave the wrong link as that link goes to your LInkedIn account.
