information theory at Cambridge

Today I gave a colloquium at the University of Cambridge. My slides are here. I spoke about how to make precise measurements, how to design surveys, and how to exploit structure in noise. It's a rich set of things, and most of the writing about information theory in astronomy is only in the cosmology domain. Time to change that, maybe? It is also the case that the best book about information and inference ever written was written in Cambridge! So I was bringing coals to Newcastle, ish!
