A new paper from the UNCOVER team hit the arxiv led by me and including Gourav Khullar, Kate Whitaker, and Jacqueline Antwi-Danso! In the pursuit of the constraints on early universe galaxy formation, we followed up on a candidate old massive galaxy at z~4 with NIRSpec: ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2024arXiv2…

Very excited to announce our JWST Cycle 3 proposal was awarded time! Thank you to Kate Whitaker and the rest of the UNCOVER team for all your hard work to make this happen! Stay tuned for more from the Relic!

We miss you already! A big shout out to the winter conference, "The Physics and Impact of Astrophysical Dust: from Star Formation through Cosmology" last week. #astronomy #dust #skiing #aspen #physics

Now immortalized — the nicest things @desikanarayanan has ever said about me in his beautiful introduction! 🥹… Thanks again for this amazing opportunity Aspen Center for Physics!

As students are receiving acceptance, waitlist, “rejection” letters for PhD programs, I’ve gotten a lot of questions about “why,” and there are a LOT of background gears at play students don’t always know about. I’ll share some and invite #AcademicChatter to add to this:

That feeling when you move 32,000+ unread emails to a local folder (mostly from personal junk mail, only 2,000 are work!)…. This time I will stay on top of it! THIS TIME! 🫣

What happens if you look at the #SolarEclipse without solar eclipse glasses? Dean Michael Fox of College of Natural Sciences at UMass Amherst is a visual neuroscientist who has studied eyes and vision for his whole career. He's here to show you how to save your retinas at #SolarEclipse24.

You asked and UMass answered! We got questions from across social media about the upcoming #solareclipse on April 8. UMass Astronomy Department Head Daniela Calzetti joined us to answer them. ☀️ 🌑 Get more details about the big day here: bit.ly/3IUZi39 College of Natural Sciences at UMass Amherst

The UMass community came together for a once-in-a-lifetime celestial event yesterday. With hundreds of people on Metawampe Lawn, we spoke to a few who were deeply affected by the experience, not just of the #eclipse, but of being together. #UMass #UMassAmherst ☀️ 🌑 College of Natural Sciences at UMass Amherst

Very excited to have been involved in this paper led by Anna de Graaff that hit the arxiv today, where we present the new record holder the most distant massive quiescent galaxy to be spectroscopically confirmed (for now): arxiv.org/pdf/2404.05683…

I am so excited to help kickoff our conference #extremegals24 with my co-organizers Benedetta Vulcani and Adam Muzzin. We will hear about the forefront of research in our field and meet friends, old and new. We will be tweeting here about the conference.

Stunning paper led by Andrea Weibel on the arXiv today -- a quenched, massive galaxy at z=7.3! How did this galaxy grow so fast + quench so fast in barely a few 100 Myrs after the Big Bang? #jwst continues to upend our picture of the very early Universe! arxiv.org/abs/2409.03829
