And that’s a wrap! Cosmology Day 2023 was a success! #NSFFunded
Here’s what we did with our largest group of visiting Cortland High School students yet:
.@CornellAstro is now a participating institution in the Brinson Prize Fellowship Program, awarding postdoctoral fellowships in observational cosmology. The application website opens today, and applications are due November 2

I'm excited to say I'll be joining the faculty at @DukePhysics in July 2024 as an assistant professor! Enormous thanks to everyone who has gotten me here, especially to @michaelniemack for the years of mentorship, and thank you for everyone at Duke for making me feel so welcome.
Congratulations to @CornellPhysics and @CornellAstro student Colin Murphy ’25! He has received a Goldwater scholarship, the top undergraduate award for students pursuing careers in mathematics, the natural sciences and engineering.

Stunning @NASAWebb images of space remind us that we are just one small piece of a vast, interconnected universe. Let's work together to build a better future for all.
Humanity's lackadaisical response to the superintelligence threat makes me feel I'm in the movie "Don't Look Up". I just explained why here: https://t.co/9rQ1NmpY7s
With line intensity mapping we can study the evolution of galaxies in a new way, by capturing light from each one simultaneously. Our LIMpy code, released today, gives a unified framework to forecast this new signal, with simulations and analytics. (1/2)

Join us for a 1 hour webinar Tuesday, April 11 at 10am Eastern on zoom (pre-registration required): https://t.co/U4BFKzFOom, including Q&A about cosmology from a new measurement of gravitational lensing of the CMB, using ACT 2017-21 data. #cmb#cosmology@NSF
Just finished lab tours with the LARGEST group of people I have ever seen for @CornellEYH!! So wonderful to meet you all briefly and talk about Mod-Cam and the universe!!
How fast is the universe expanding? In the spring 2023 Bethe Lecture, astrophysicist Wendy L. Freedman will describe the current state of cosmology March 22 at 7:30 pm in Schwartz Auditorium, Rockefeller Hall – also livestreamed.

Our fourth Cosmology Day was a big success! This year we had 35 students from Cortland HS and added a tour of the CubeSat lab. Thank you to everyone who volunteered to give talks, speak on the panel, and give lab tours! 🌌
Our #SPIEastro paper "CCAT-prime: Design of the Mod-Cam receiver and 280 GHz MKID instrument module" is now on the arXiv! https://t.co/AoUmQrMMxr
