In Washington DC for The Federal Demonstration Partnership conference.

Looking forward to a full day of presentations tomorrow.

Interesting presentation from Mike Lauer, Deputy Director for Extramural Research, discussing the “Exodus from Academia”. The focus was on biomedical research and NIH but the challenges and solutions are relevant for all fields.

@UCRiverside Very proud of my student, Ian McConachie whose discovery of an early Universe protocluster with a high fraction of quenched galaxies was published today

[UC Riverside @UCRiverside]

An international team of astronomers -- led by #UCR researchers -- has discovered an unusual massive cluster of young galaxies forming in the early universe. Read more ⬇️ #UCRiverside #astronomy #galaxy https://t.co/LAUixSuAHy

I am very proud of my student Mohamed whose measurement of the total amount of matter in the Universe has been named one of the top 10 University of California non-COVID scientific stories of 2020! https://t.co/7E1nxCOvBY

[UC Riverside @UCRiverside]

How much matter does the universe hold? A team led by scientists at UC Riverside has succeeded in making one of the most precise measurements to date — a daunting exercise for even the most mathematically proficient. https://t.co/8acNfzDE51
