Understanding of the nuclear many-body physics taking place in neutron stars and supernovae is central to understanding their macroscopic behavior. Controlled nuclear physics inputs can be obtained with effective field theory (EFT). I will describe recent applications of nuclear EFTs to astrophysics including the in-medium modifications of the pion and neutrinosphere physics. Lattice field theory is central to these studies, and I will describe how recent advancements to taming “the sign problem” might be useful for astrophysics.
