@martinmbauer An external panel is being convened to advise on federal funding for TMT and GMT. No decision has been made. ww2.aip.org/fyi/external-p…
English
In the last months US funders announced that they won't construct the two large telescopes (either TMT or GMT) and stop construction at the South Pole for at least 10yrs (no CMB-S4)
This kills the top priorities of both astronomy and particle physics communities

Head’s up - if someone from Advancements with @TedDanson reaches out with interest in your org’s work on innovations in technology: it’s pay-to-play. After 20 min of talking about LSST I was told it would only be $83,000 to have the work featured in an episode.

Please help us spread the word. With preparations well underway, the reality is that the only thing that will make this (or any) conference fail is not getting enough people to participate. So come on, register and submit your abstracts by 1st March! astronomy2024.org

This is just the opening slide and I'm already loving this talk. Rush to the plenary this morning at #AAS243 to hear legal expert Lia Epperson on the Implications of the Supreme Court Decision on the Use of Race in College Admissions

@astrogrant @NASARoman @pinballme @SphereVegas We've been loosely discussing this idea for @VRubinObs ... The screen is only large enough for 1/10 of the 3.2 Gpix full camera FOV, which gives room for some zoom-in fun.

Hear me out @NASARoman @pinballme: We reveal Roman first light images on exterior + interior of @SphereVegas with a huge splashy event.

An epic thread by @megschwamb about how a LINCC -FW Incubator made a critical piece of @VRubinObs ☄️science code ~200x faster.
LINCC-FW is @SchmidtFutures supported project at @uwdirac, @Physics_CMU, and the LSST Discovery Alliance (CC: @BethWillman)
Join an incubator? See 🧵.

Story time: Today's the last day of my LINCC (LSST Interdisciplinary Network for Collaboration & Computing) Frameworks Incubator. I had 3 months of software engineer time actively working on coding and 1 month ahead of time evaluating the code and coming up with a workplan
