Some posts on research activities. There are other blog posts about research activity too (like this series), but these occasional ones are about specific content.

The first three I will place in another series collection when I get the time… they are more general than the ones later that are about research specific to me.

  • So What Is String Theory, Anyway?
  • Beyond Einstein: Fixing Singularities in Spacetime
  • Exploring QCD in Cambridge

Here are the rest:

  • Spectral, II
  • Spectral
  • Black Holes and a Return to 2D Gravity! – Part II
  • Black Holes and a Return to 2D Gravity! – Part I
  • News from the Front XIX: A-Masing de Sitter
  • News from the Front, XVIII: de Sitter Black Holes and Continuous Heat Engines
  • News from the Front, XVII: Super-Entropic Instability
  • Mindscape Interview!
  • News from the Front, XV: Nicely Entangled
  • News from the Front, XIV: Holographic Heat Engines for Fun and Profit
  • News from the Front, XIII: Simplicity
  • News from the Front, XII: The Nuts and Bolts of Enthalpy in Quantum Gravity
  • News from the Front, XI: Holographic Heat Engines
  • News from the Front, X: Smoother Transition
  • Entangled
  • News From the Front IX: Water Everywhere
  • News From the Front, VIII: One Down…
  • News From The Front, VII: What is Fundamental, Anyway?
  • Talk Talk
