StronGR: beyond Einstein
Saturday, March 9, 2013Group photo, at a popular Ginginha bar in Rossio, of the workshop “Strong Gravity beyond GR: from theory to observations” held at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) in Lisbon, from 5-8 March 2013. Funny detail: the person on the bottom left, the lady at the center and the two guys on the right are just passers-by who joined the photo for the sake of it, without even paying the workshop fee!

Sunday, February 3, 2013As we told you a few weeks ago, our group has been making short videos on selected topics, explained by group members. This week’s video features Hirotada Okawa explaining numerical relativity. You can see a couple more videos on our outreach page. Be sure to keep an eye on this website because we’ll be releasing more of these over the next few months.
