It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say that our efforts at @InPTA_GW and those of the @IPTA_GW members have all been worth it just for the existence of this rap.

Wonderful!

[InPTA @InPTA_GW]

We've all been hearing about how the GW background signal for which @EPTAGW+InPTA,@NANOGrav,@CSIRO_ATNF, CPTA have evidence for is like a HUM

To carry on the music metaphor in pulsar science;

We bring you a sonified artistic rendition of our dispersion measure data, for fun!

[Pratik Tarafdar @pratikta16]

And thanks to the national media for extensive coverage of @InPTA_GW + @EPTAGW results on the first hints of a cosmic gravitational wave background 🙏
