It's also amazing to think that JWST has revealed so much new about the first-billion years of our Universe.
Anyway the discussions led to the below Nature Astronomy paper!

The Nature Astronomy link is here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
The first billion years according to JWST - Nature Astronomy
The infrared view of JWST has opened up the early Universe to study. This Perspective summarizes the key developments in our understanding of the high-redshift Universe from the first 18 months of JWS...

I'm really thankful for the organizers making me feel welcome and included even though I was on the other side of the planet!

The topic was exactly what is in the title! It always amazes me that by studying stars I can work across cosmic history of the Universe and usefully contribute to this work.

It a world where the stories of trans people are seldom heard any more I thank the AIP for asking me to contribute. I also thank the interviewer Kai who made the interview easy and enjoyable.

It's an important part of the message! It was from Shenova Fashion but they unfortunately don't make clothes any more.
