Gr@v, together with the Portuguese Physics Society and the EPS Young Minds Aveiro (association of Physics students) is promoting a (non-technical) black holes course, online, for high school teachears and undergraduate students.
Check out Gr@v member Miguel Zilhão explaining "How do we find planets", an outreach video (in Portuguese).
Read the U. Aveiro coverage on the Stanford University researcher's ranking, led by John P. A. Ioannidis, that features several Gr@v members.

Great way to close the academic year with a sunny (and refreshing) group hike in the beautiful walkways next to Paiva river. Enjoy the holidays!
Gr@v member Felipe Freitas will lecture a free course on "Introduction to computer vision with pyTorch". Classes will take place on Fridays (the next class will be April 9th 2021) every two weeks, from 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm. More info below (in Portuguese).
In this talk I will argue two points. 1) Symbolic regression, a machine learning technique that fits data by iteratively searching the space of all possible analytic equations, should be a standard machine learning algorithm in astrophysics. 2) Symbolic regression can be extended to high-dimensional spaces, such as to models for N-body simulations, using the method we have developed.
C. Herdeiro was nominated a 2021 Outstanding Referee by the American Physical Society (APS). The Outstanding Referee program was instituted in 2008 to recognize scientists who have been exceptionally helpful in assessing manuscripts for publication in the APS journals. This highly selective program annually recognizes about 150 of the roughly 71,000 currently active referees.
