In this week’s episode, Michelle and Payel discuss whether neuron-star mergers are even needed to explain r-process abundances, the origin of the inner moons of Uranus, and the impact of systematic uncertainties on the Hubble tension and gamma-ray searches for dark matter. Tune in below, or on Spotify and Apple.
