Title: "Cosmological constraints from unexpected places: three test cases"
Abstract: When one thinks of cosmology experiments, we usually think of headline, large experiments directly aimed at studying the CMB, large-scale structure, Supernovae, or dark matter.  Instead, I will foucs on three experiments/observations that are happening now (or will happen relatively soon) and have less-publicized implications for our understanding of Cosmology.  Part of the intention in the talk is to encourage theorists to "peek into more experimental corners" for inspiration.
