We are already working on it 🌊🌊🌑🌑💫🌟. 🎉🥂
Happy Birthday GW150914! @ARC_OzGRav has just celebrated the 10th anniversary of the first detection of gravitational waves at @Swinburne. With several hundred detections since then, we've learnt so much new physics about black holes and neutron stars and the nature of gravity!
Happy 10th birthday GW150914 - the first ever detection of gravitational waves, coming from a binary black hole inspiral. Check out this exciting 10th anniversary focus issue of Classical and Quantum Gravity: ow.ly/bJqp50WV7MO
It's a living collection so check back often!

Vale Rai Weiss (29 Sept 1932-25 Aug 2025), a doyen in the field of gravitational wave detection. He produced the design for a gravitational wave detector which eventually became @LIGO. An inspirational leader and passionate driver of the LIGO project who will be greatly missed 👏

ICYMI, this year’s #wintersolstice for the Southern Hemisphere will occur at 12:42pm AEST on Saturday, June 21, 2025. After that, days will get longer and nights will become shorter for the next 6 months, driving the slow transition from winter back to summer. ☀️

And @JadePowell12 we are super excited at @CQGravity for what should be a landmark issue for this active and rapidly evolving branch of gravitational wave astrophysics 😃
Our @CQGravity focus issue on core-collapse supernova astronomy and astrophysics: past, present and future now has a webpage! I’m super excited to be one of the guest editors! 😁 iopscience.iop.org/collectio…
We've just concluded a wonderful Gravitational Wave Advanced Detector Workshop in Cocoa Beach, Florida. We considered the design, instrumental aspects and science case for increased-sensitivity gravitational wave detectors for the future international network

Excited to see @newscientist feature the Laser Interferometer Lunar Antenna (LILA) — a project I lead as Principal Investigator — in their story on how the lunar surface could transform our ability to study black holes and listen to the universe.

Early Bird registration closes today for the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration Meeting to be held in Melbourne, Australia, from March 24th – 27th at the Pullman Melbourne Albert Park Hotel. The meeting will be hosted by @ARC_OzGRav.
Don't miss out!

#RhodesScholar Susan Scott’s contributions to theoretical physics are revolutionizing our understanding of the cosmos. Her work on singularities is challenging the boundaries of science. Learn more about her pioneering research @ozgravityguru bit.ly/SusanScottCosmos
In this Editorial I mention some of the recent exciting gravitational science published in CQG, and reflect on possible breakthrough gravitational science which may be covered by the journal in the next 40 years! 🍎 🌊🌊 🌑🌠
@ARC_OzGRav @ausphysics @PhysicsNews @Science_Academy
🎉 Celebrating 40 Years of CQGravity! 🎉
Check out our special anniversary issue featuring an editorial by Editor-in-Chief Susan M. Scott. Reflect on four decades of innovation and explore the future of CQGravity.

The Lego Ligo! ~ Michelson Interferometer. This was designed by myself @ScienceWithMat and Frank @frankmadethis. Complete with 3D printed mirror mounts & @EdmundOptics mirrors.Looking forward to sharing this @jtkst10 @ARC_OzGRav @ozgravityguru @LIGOMagazine @LIGOWA @LIGO @LIGOLA
Congratulations Mike Tobar (UWA) for receiving the 2024 Harrie Massey Medal - a joint medal of @ausphysics and @PhysicsNews.
It was awarded at the AIP Congress 2024 dinner held on Wednesday evening next to the hallowed turf of 'the G' @MCG
During the @AipCongress in Melbourne, @IOPPublishing hosted a dinner last night for IOPP journal Editorial Board Members.
I attended in my capacity as Editor-in-Chief of @CQGravity.
It was wonderful to meet Michele Dougherty (3rd on right), President-Elect of @PhysicsNews
