the colloquium was organized by f-h
and well reported by Alejandro Satz.
there were four talks and a lot of lively discussion

Among the PhD students came from other places in Europe besides the UK
was Eugenio Bianchi (marseille) who gave a talk about *perturbative Regge calculus and LQG*
F-h gave a talk on *partial observables*. I don't think there is any "problem of time" in QG now
because relational observables seems to take care of it. There was discussion of this and related
issues in the open discussion that followed the talks.

It seems like a good idea to have a *students only* symposium because you can say whatever
and ask whatever (not stepping on any senior toes) and you get to interact directly with people
you might collaborate with later. I imagine the general ambiance at Perimeter might have some of that
free-for-all scramble happening on any given day. There seems to be a lot of creativity on the loose
amongst the QG PhD-student crowd. This post at realityconditions blog by Alejandro Satz gives
a glimpse of it---in the Nottingham+London Imperial context.

This is an alert about a claim regarding the standard model, that got a burst of attention in the past two weeks. The original paper came out last year: "The electroweak η_W meson" by Gia Dvali, Archil Kobakhidze, Otari Sakhelashvili (2024) The recent follow-up and other responses are "η_W-meson from topological properties of the electroweak vacuum" by Dvali et al "Hiding in Plain Sight, the electroweak η_W" by Giacomo Cacciapaglia, Francesco Sannino, Jessica Turner "Astrophysical...
