Abstract: Nuclear mass measurements and neutron matter theory tightly constrain the parameters S_V and L of the nuclear symmetry energy. Corroboration can be found from measurements of the neutron skin thicknesses and dipole polarizabilities of neutron-rich nuclei, as well as from astrophysical measurements of the neutron star radius. The recent PREX and CREX neutron skin measurements, the recent NICER neutron star radius measurements, and a new interpretation of the GW170817 tidal deformability measurement will be highlighted.
