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…


So super, duper proud of Sam Cutler on being awarded a JWST Cycle 3 program! 🥹

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!


What a fun opportunity to interview with Aspen 82 at the top of Aspen Mountain this morning! #aspen #ajax #sundeck #freshtracks #assprof Thank you Aspen Center for 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!



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



“Lift as you rise” might be the best advice I’ve heard in a long time. Congratulations to the 2024 UMass Amherst Honors College graduates! 🎓
