  1. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦈👁️ #Greenland sharks can live for 400 years and scientists long thought they were functionally blind.

    A new study shows these #sharks may retain useful vision thanks to a #DNA repair mechanism that protects their retinas from age-related damage. The work could inform #research on age-related vision loss in #humans.

  6. Full house to hear this year’s Reines Lecture by Nobel Laureate Adam Riess, who discovered the acceleration of the expansion of the Universe. The Reines Lecture series is hosted by UCI Physics & Astronomy and the UCI School of Physical Sciences

  10. "The Black Student Union (BSU) cookout on Feb. 28 was supposed to be a protected community event, but BSU members who left the event quickly became targets for bigoted violence, putting their physical safety and mental well-being at risk."

  15. Congratulations to Dr. Helena García Escudero in successfully defending her PhD dissertation today at UCI Department of Physics & Astronomy, titled “ΛCDM and Beyond: Neutrinos and the Puzzle of Cosmological Tensions.” She joins the USC Department of Physics & Astronomy as a postdoctoral scholar in December!

  18. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered massive galaxies at 37 billion light years away, when the Universe was ~1% of its current age (z~25!). Galaxy formation appears at odds with the efficiencies capable of making such galaxies at beyond 100% (the solid purple line).

    Work led by #UCIrvine NSF Graduate Research Fellow Jay Krishnan shows that systematic uncertainties in the inferred mass, along with the steeply falling halo mass function at these scales, leads to large uncertainties that asymmetrically prefer lower efficiencies. The asymmetry is caused by the steeply falling mass function: there are many more smaller galaxies to upscatter into your sample (upper orange curves) than there are larger galaxies to downscatter into it (lower orange curves).

    Many new physics models have been proposed in response to the apparently anomalous JWST galaxies, and we provide the code to test these models when more galaxies are detected and uncertainties are reduced.
