Two out of 14 - the 1 in 7 odds checked out 😅

So excited about the large #jwstgoals program!! More gorgeous ULIRGs / galaxy mergers coming your way soon following our ERS and Cycle 1 programs! 🎉🥳

Can't wait to see the new #JWST episode of #PBS #PBSNOVA premiering tonight where our #jwstgoals research (among others) will be highlighted -

That's me gesturing at our results off-screen -- watch for my #UCI group's cameo in the show as well! 😊

Coming up soon (13:30 ET)
Thomas Lai will talk about AGN feedback in Seyfert galaxy #NGC7469 at the #JWSTFirstResults conference! In the mean time, I'd like to advertise posters by postdocs Thomas Bohn (NIRCam+MIRI imaging) and Marina Bianchin
(NIRSpec) - say hi! #jwstgoals

Fans of #jwstgoals:
@seanlinden will be up next (11:15am ET) talking about hidden star formation in #VV114 at the #JWSTFirstResults meeting! Tune in to hear about what Sean found in this spectacular system using data from #JWST #ers1328!
