I will then present a variety o f new results in this field. First\, I will discuss the “lensing is low” ef fect whereby the lensing signal around massive galaxies has a lower amplitu de than predicted based on the galaxy auto-correlation function from BOSS. I will present some new updates on this topic and discuss the cosmological implications of this effect. I will further present “Lensing without Border s”\, an inter survey collaborative effort to empirically test the accuracy of galaxy-galaxy lensing measurements in current day surveys. I will also p resent new results suggesting that the light from central galaxies is a muc h better tracer of halo mass than previously recognized and I will discuss how this effect might be used to improve optical cluster finding algorithms . Finally\, I will present the Merian survey: a new program that will use 60 nights on the Blanco telescope and two custom made filters to detect 100 \,000 dwarf galaxies and measure their halo masses via gravitational lensin g.
