Title:                     How to Learn to Love the BOSS

Abstract: Baryon Oscillations Spectroscopic Survey have just finished surveying 10,000 square degrees, containing over 1 million galaxies within the redshift range of 0.2<z<0.7. I will discuss some of the most recent results from BOSS and other surveys including the 1% measurement of BAO at z=0.57 from BOSS and constraints on gravity using all of the currently available redshift space distortions measurements from BOSS and other surveys. I will also introduce new probes from large scale structure which will help us learn more about gravity and galaxy environment.

I will finally put all of this into the context of current and upcoming surveys including Sloan Digital Sky Survey 4, Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, Large Synoptic Survey Telescope and WFIRST-AFTA.
