We are overjoyed for our colleagues in the pulsar timing community for finding evidence of a stochastic background of gravitational waves! Hope to hear lots of talks about these and future results at APS meetings
Exciting news! An analysis of NANOGrav’s 15-year data shows evidence for the existence of low-frequency gravitational waves. Teams in Australia, China, Europe, and India have also independently reported their results today. @EPTAGW@InPTA_GW@ARC_OzGRav@CSIRO_ATNF
Welcome to the fourth observing run! #O4IsHere
O4 will last 20 months, with @ego_virgo and @KAGRA_PR joining us in the run. We expect the detection rate will be roughly twice in our past observing run

The American Physical Society and the European Physical Society designated Einstein's apartment in Bern a historical monument at almost the exact time the first gravitational wave was detected. @LIGOLA@APSphysics@APSgravity
The International Society on General Relativity and Gravitation is organizing an online event to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the publication of Misner, Thorne and Wheeler’s “Gravitation” (MTW). Misner and Thorne will both be there! Link+details: https://t.co/XahxGSFaBz
Hope everyone had a good time at the April meeting! Pedro Marronetti's update on NSF news relevant to gravitation are available here: https://t.co/iwBEtwuts9
We are working on creating one focused on gravity, general relativity, e.t.c.
Leo Stein is leading this @duetosymmetry
We'll likely announce it through our tweeps and w/ DGRAV (@APSgravity)
Nominations for both the Einstein Prize and Isaacson Award are open, and the nomination deadline is June 1, 2020. I encourage you to consider nominating outstanding colleagues for these honors.

After a few years hiatus, the GCGM returns! The 9th Gulf Coast Gravity Meeting will be held at the University of Mississippi in Oxford, MS, on March 13 and 14, 2020. In keeping with its tradition, this will be an open, relaxed, and informal conference.
