There have also been a couple of new papers I’ve not posted (outside of the always current Cosmic Tusk Bib). So stayed tuned there also…

Well, the Tusk has returned from two weeks in the land of the Pharaohs and enjoyed the most physically exhausting and intellectually fulfilling experience of my lifetime. I joined the hosts, Ben of UnchartedX and Jimmy of Bright Insight, and 27 new friends for what I believe is one of the great modern tours of Egypt.
