DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Licia Verde (ICREA\, Barcelona/Spain)\n\nDespite its
  spectacular success\, the ΛCDM model is ultimately phenomenological: it 
 establishes a robust framework in which some fundamental issues remain unr
 esolved. With observations becoming increasingly precise\, it is reasonabl
 e to expect that “something’s gotta give” and  that the ΛCDM model
  will show some cracks. The Hubble tension— the discrepancy between the 
 value of the Hubble parameter\, when inferred as a global parameter of the
  standard cosmological model \, and when measured directly in the late-tim
 e Universe from the redshift-to-distance relation—  has been looming fo
 r a decade and has been studied extensively. Could it be such a crack?  I
  will give an overview of  the status of the Hubble tension and tentative
 ly speculate on why it has persisted thus far.bio:Licia Verde is an astrop
 hysicist with interest in cosmology. Her research topics include theoretic
 al cosmology\, cosmic microwave background\, large-scale structure\,  ana
 lysis of galaxy redshift surveys\, statistical applications and data analy
 sis. She is currently ICREA Professor at the Institut de Ciències del Cos
 mos at the Universitat de Barcelona (ICCUB).\n\nhttps://indico.zdv.uni-mai
