This week I’m travelling to Passo del Tonale to lecture at the 2023 Tonale Winter School on Cosmology. The weather is fortunately fantastic, with clear skies and a lot of snow (below is the view from my hotel window)! For those of you who might be interested, below are the slides I will use during the lectures, and the questions which will be discussed in the working group sessions:
Lecture 1: Basics of theoretical and observational cosmology [Slides]
Lecture 2: Measuring the Hubble constant – the Hubble tension [Slides]
Lecture 3: How (not) to solve the Hubble tension? [Slides]
Lecture 4: Other tensions and challenges for ΛCDM [Slides]
I have really fond memories from the time I attended as a student in 2014 (fun fact: my roommate was Vivian Poulin, now one of the big names in the Hubble tension game), and I’m looking forward to an exciting week!
