We did it! The first cosmic test of Bell's inequality to choose experimental settings with astronomical sources arxiv.org/abs/1611.06985
I also had a fascinating discussion about science and religion with John Martellaro @jmartellaro on the TMO Background Mode podcast @backgroundmode macobserver.com/podcasts/bac…
I had a great time as a recent guest on the People Behind the Science @PBtScience podcast hosted by Dr. Marie McNeely @PhDMarie peoplebehindthescience.com/d…
I'll be tackling "The Year in Space and Beyond" at @Comic_Con @futuretechlive with @UCSD Center for Astrophysics & Space Sciences Profs Brian Keating @briankeating, Shelly Wright @ikashell, and NASA Astronaut / Texas A&M Prof Greg Chamitov comiccon2019.sched.com/event…
Looking forward to being with @andyfriedman2 and @ikashell on the Golden Anniversary of Apollo 11!

Take a look back at this past year of space discoveries and milestones including the EHT black hole image at this @Comic_Con panel "The Year in Space & Beyond" on Saturday, July 20: bit.ly/2Ga06RH
Thanks to Mat Kaplan with the @PlanRad podcast for hosting myself, @DavidBrin, @briankeating, and #JasonGallicchio, discussing our Cosmic Bell experiment and the wonderful @novapbs documentary, "Einstein's Quantum Riddle", hosted at @imagineUCSD planetary.org/multimedia/pla…
I recently was a guest on the @backgroundmode podcast with @jmartellaro talking about science fiction, cosmology, quantum entanglement, and all sorts of fun and crazy topics: macobserver.com/podcasts/bac…

Thanks for hosting a nice little conversation about the nature of all that exists! I look forward to sharing it on Planetary Radio.
With @andyfriedman2, @DavidBrin, @PlanRad, and #JasonGallicchio before tonight’s panel and screening of @novapbs’s “Einstein’s Quantum Riddle” @imagineUCSD @UCSDPhySci

Einstein’s Quantum Riddle: Special PBS NOVA Screening and Panel Discussion imagination.ucsd.edu/_wp/new… via @imagineucsd
Our astroparticle physics paper testing for new physics beyond the standard model with optical polarimetry of high redshift galaxies was just published in @PhysRevD journals.aps.org/prd/abstrac…
Congrats to Arturo Avelino @CenterForAstro for our recently submitted paper, "Type Ia Supernovae are Excellent Standard Candles in the Near-Infrared", arxiv.org/abs/1902.03261, where we quantify how much better these standard candles perform in the Infrared vs. Optical wavelengths

Come see a free public screening of the @novapbs episode "Einstein's Quantum Riddle" about our cosmic Bell experiment, at UCSD on Monday, March 4, 6-8pm, followed by a panel discussion with @andyfriedman2, Jason Gallicchio, @briankeating, @DavidBrin eventbrite.com/e/einsteins-q…

Our paper including a new version of Bell's theorem just got published in @PhysRevA journals.aps.org/pra/abstrac…
We show that if Alice and Bob's entanglement test measurement choices are not completely free, one can reproduce the quantum predictions while keeping locality and realism.
For those who missed in on Wed Jan 9, the PBS NOVA @novapbs documentary about our experiment is now streaming for free here, probably at least until next Wed Jan 16: pbs.org/wgbh/nova/video/eins…
If you miss it live, it might later stream on the @novapbs website: pbs.org/wgbh/nova/
Check out this fun piece on quantum entanglement and our cosmic Bell experiment by Laura Dattaro in @symmetrymag symmetrymagazine.org/article…
Check out part 2 of my recent podcast appearance on the @BreakItDownshow, where we discuss the basis of the Scientific Method, amongst other tangents: breakitdownshow.com/episodes…
For a little "easy listening" dive into the mysteries of quantum entanglement and cosmology on your commute, check out this recent episode of the @BreakItDownshow podcast where I talk with host @PeteATurner breakitdownshow.com/episodes…
