Outreach talk about the latest DESI results

Sindhu Satyavolu and Laura Casas delivered the seminar “Probing Cosmic Acceleration with DESI: Is Dark Energy Evolving?” at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona on June 5th 2025. The speakers presented the latest results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) and introduced key cosmological concepts to ensure accessibility for a non-specialist audience.

The seminar was aimed at a general public and was attended by over 60 participants, including undergraduate and high school students. The session lasted approximately one hour and will be available on the PICO YouTube channel.

PhysICs fOr all (PICO) is a Horizon‑funded European outreach initiative dedicated to bridging the gap between fundamental physics and society—raising public awareness of cutting‑edge research (from particle physics to cosmology) and its real‑world impacts, while championing equity, diversity, inclusion, and gender equality in all its activities
