We are overjoyed for our colleagues in the pulsar timing community for finding evidence of a stochastic background of gravitational waves! Hope to hear lots of talks about these and future results at APS meetings
Exciting news! An analysis of NANOGrav’s 15-year data shows evidence for the existence of low-frequency gravitational waves. Teams in Australia, China, Europe, and India have also independently reported their results today. @EPTAGW @InPTA_GW @ARC_OzGRav @CSIRO_ATNF

Welcome to the fourth observing run! #O4IsHere O4 will last 20 months, with @ego_virgo and @KAGRA_PR joining us in the run. We expect the detection rate will be roughly twice in our past observing run More news linked from ligo.org/news.php #ObservingRun4

The American Physical Society and the European Physical Society designated Einstein's apartment in Bern a historical monument at almost the exact time the first gravitational wave was detected. @LIGOLA @APSphysics @APSgravity

We are working on creating one focused on gravity, general relativity, e.t.c. Leo Stein is leading this @duetosymmetry We'll likely announce it through our tweeps and w/ DGRAV (@APSgravity)
Twitter friends! I'm trying to compile a list of ongoing/future online seminars in physics, can you help? All suggestions welcome! #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter
