Here are Hossenfelder's blog report and slides from a talk given last week at the Loops '07 conference.

one slide, number 26 if anyone wants to find it, quotes from this SFN post (we're famous! )

Sabine Hossenfelder: Phenomenological Quantum Gravity

 

The search for a satisfying theory that unifies general relativity with quantum field theory is surely one of the major tasks for physicists in the 21st century. During the last decade, the phenomenology of quantum gravity and string theory has been examined from various points of view, opening new perspectives and testable predictions. I will give a short introduction into these effective models which allow to extend the standard model and include the expected effects of the underlying fundamental theory. I will talk about models with extra dimensions, models with a minimal length scale and those with a deformation of Lorentz invariance. The focus is on observable consequences, such as black hole and graviton production and modifications of standard-model cross-sections.

She will sound pessimistic but that is normal for phenomenologists---they are supposed to be unenthusiastic, uncommitted, cautious, and a bit of the devil advocate who throws the cold water of reality on the theorists. But hers is the talk you should hear if you could be there, if you ask those phenomenology questions relating to testability."

Haha, nice Martin!

Hah! Now we can beat Wikipedia's notability guidelines for sure!

I think Phi will like the new posters in the staff room better than the old ones (no offense to Carlo Rovelli or Enrico Fermi meant).

Okay. That is cool.
