Description
I will review some of the recent progress and current status in the studies of two important modified gravity theories to explain the cosmic acceleration: Galileon gravity and f(R) gravity. I will discuss possible cosmological, astrophysical or terrestrial constraints on these, and other related, theories for the near future. Based on these, I will promote Galileon gravity as a competitive alternative to LCDM and explain why it merits further studies from the wider community.
