A cosmology paper has gone viral (see @guardian link) - because of its big claims and press release. Here's a thread for what its big problems are. https://t.co/zSWs2wVUwj

New paper by Anderson et al. that re-examines TRGB LMC measurement gets higher H0 of 71.8+-1.5. Neatest to me is stars around tip are variable and break into two classes of variability at 4+ sigma. Shows TRGB are standardizable, not standard candles. https://t.co/13QX2Gk3Pm

It took some time, but here's a report on our @ESO #H02020 e-conference last June. Hopefully this will provide some useful thoughts and inspiration for upcoming online meetings. Thanks to Antoine, Sherry, all SOC members, and all the participants! https://t.co/m8bK0kLMXb

Two #EUfunded postdoc positions in observational astrophysics at EPFL in Switzerland. We're looking for photometrists and spectroscopists to help measure the Hubble constant to 1% & solve a cosmic riddle. Funding by #ERCStG @ERC_Research @EU_H2020 @snf_ch https://t.co/uG192oIo8F
