Now done with exoplanets and moving to much larger scales with a great talk by @annanierenberg on measuring invisible small dark matter halos with Keck, JWST, and ELTs
Another annual physics faculty retreat in the books. Great discussions and concrete plans for our research and academic programs as well as for continuing to build community between undergrads, grads and faculty in the upcoming academic year.

As the Sun sets in this #imageoftheweek, and its light scatters through Earth’s atmosphere, the Arizona sky at @KittPeakNatObs, a Program of @NSF’s @NOIRLabAstro, glows in wondrous shades of vivid color. https://t.co/TgRJlj5NJZ Image: KPNO/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/T. Slovinský.
The storm Sunday and Monday covered Mount Hamilton with snow, making the road dangerously icy. We expect the sunny weather today to melt most of the snow and icy. https://t.co/tCcICE8xUl
Shout out to our amazing employees for pitching in to help those impacted by the recent storms. We are all one big family, and we are happy to give back to the community that has supported us over the years! #BobcatsGiveBack#PlanadaStrong
UC Merced Professor Anna Nierenberg leads a team that has cooked up a clever way to use the James Webb Space Telescope to try to understand the fundamental nature of dark matter, that invisible stuff that makes up a quarter of the universe. https://t.co/Sxn6fVajYl via @NPR
@UCMerced_NatSci Professor Anna Nierenberg (@annanierenberg) is featured in a new NPR story about @NASA's James Webb telescope and her idea to use the telescope to further understand dark matter. https://t.co/GkK3Nw2cwb
Big congratulations to graduate student @MicahOeur for receiving an honorable mention from the extremely competitive @NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program.
