Congratulations!

.Carnegie Astronomy Visiting Scientist Maria R. Drout (an Assist. Prof at University of Toronto) will harness #JWST 's power to explore the origins of the heaviest elements in the periodic table, which has been a huge debate for the last half century. LEARN MORE ➡️ carnegiescience.edu/node/2848

If any astro/compsci/physics undergrads are interested in a paid summer research internship at the Berkeley SETI Research Center, dm me your email and I’ll forward you the information. Seems like a pretty rad experience and research projects cover a wide range of topics!

Research shows starlight may shape Protoplanetary disks - which are the birthplace of planets. We asked U of T astronomer Taylor Kutra how a little starlight can go such a long way.

PASEA alumni, please apply for this. It promises to be an awesome experience. Also spread the word

📣 This spring, pasea is hosting a FREE, fully-online astronomy program for #STEM-interested African university students! 🌌🔭💻🌍 Check out our poster below for more details on our exciting program! ⬇️ Apply here! bit.ly/3IB24Zq

The Pan-African School for Emerging Astronomers (PASEA) is an amazing school with dozens of participants from Africa and instructors from across the world - including the Dunlap Institute. Follow pasea and Dunlap's Dr. Heidi White to learn about this year's activities!

We are super excited for #PASEA2022 beginning in a few days. Team members have started to arrive and we can’t wait to meet all our students 🎉

Graduate students Adaeze Uchenna-Nwadike Margaret Ikape and Aarya Patil collaborate on a presentation for next week's #PASEA2022 attendees. In this session, they will describe the process of applying to graduate schools and highlight their experiences as international students.

Godson Abbey is a Ph.D. student helping with logistics for the school in Livingstone, Zambia. 🇿🇲 “Without this PASEA program I wouldn’t be here. My goal [in 2022] is to do everything I can to make this school a success.” #PASEA2022

So proud of you Godson for coming full circle from being a student of the Pan-African School for Emerging Astronomers to an instructor!

Dunlap Institute Ph.D. candidate Adaeze Uchenna-Nwadike: “My goal for participating is to contribute to the growth of astronomy in Africa. I’m happy to meet new people who need the direction that I needed [when I attended in 2013] and learn about Zambian culture and way of life.”
