grant proposal

I spent the day working finishing my grant proposal to the NSF (due tomorrow). It is about probabilistic approaches to cosmology. In the end, I am very excited about the things that can be enabled if we can find ways to make a generative model of things like the positions of all galaxies or the unlensed shapes of galaxies: We can connect the theoretical model (which generates two-point functions of primordial density fields) to the data (which are positions and shapes of galaxies, among other things). That can only increase our capabilities, with existing and future data.
