I haven’t had a chance to listen yet, but “Slacker Astronomy” is featuring a series of podcast interviews with cosmologists from the Kavli Center at the University of Chicago, where I got my PhD. There are interviews with my de facto PhD supervisor, Josh Frieman, my de jure supervisor (long story) Mike Turner, and even an interview in Second Life.

In other University of Chicago news, I’ll be on a panel discussing “Cosmic Frontiers” at The University of Chicago International Forum in London in September 28-29 (the big name on the marquee is “Freakonomics” economist Steven Levitt). So come along if you’re a Chicago alum (especially, presumably, if you feel like donating lots of money).
