Three video-talks on the CMB and structure of universe

[marcus]

Joao Magueijo. Cosmologist at London Imperial, and Perimeter Institute.

Three introductory lectures on the CMB observation and interpretation

The first talk is a light intro to the technology, the software that does the mapping, and
the analysis that derives the power spectrum (what cosmologists really study)
The second lecture is how conventional ideas of universe structure come out of the CMB observations (e.g. from COBE and WMAP)

hanks for the information! I'm looking forward to watching the lectures from Joao Magueijo. It's great that Perimeter Institute provides these lectures online for free!
