If you missed the talk, you sadly missed David’s dark matter rap (he put on sunglasses, and sang), and introduced us to his galaxy formation board game, while interweaving Peebles’s many contributions to cosmology. Scott gave a tour through the discovery of Mayor and Queloz, and an extremely useful summary of the planet and near-planet discoveries that were proximate in time to 51 Peg b, and the evolution of the field since.
