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.

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!

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.
The Scatter of the Many Outweighs the Scatter of the Few: Systematic Error Asymmetry in Steeply-Falling Mass Functions for High-Redshift JWST Galaxies ➡️ https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.13708
-
First paper submission today for #UCIrvine graduate fellow Jay Krishnan! There is much interest in NASA's James Webb Space Telescope potentially showing early galaxy formation as incompatible with standard cosmology and structure formation We show that current systematic uncertainties, when combined with the steeply falling mass function of galaxies, relax the apparent tension. We provide the tools to test cosmology as new detections come from JWST. The paper Is scheduled to be on the arXiv tonight.

It turns out the Hubble expansion rate problem may be connected to another anomaly: evidence of neutrino oscillations at short baselines. One of the key figures from the work led by #UCIrvine graduate fellow Helena García Escudero shows that one of cosmology’s strongest probes—baryon acoustic oscillations—allows neutrino number and mass to increase together. This simultaneously relaxes constraints on additional massive neutrinos, which are favored by both the Hubble tension and short-baseline neutrino anomalies.
Paper ➡️ https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.25478

Fun to work out with #UCIrvine graduate fellow Helena Garcia Escudero the details of why extra, sterile neutrinos are preferred (!!) by cosmology when adopting the local Cepheid measurement of the Hubble expansion rate. It ties into why baryon acoustic oscillations allow for simultaneous increase in relativistic energy density and neutrino mass, and it’s nontrivial why that happens. The paper will appear tomorrow on the arXiv, following up on a lead in our previous work https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.05451

Congratulations to Dr. Cannon Vogel, who successfully defended his PhD dissertation today at #UCIrvine. He has become one of the top handful of people expert in warm dark matter production in the early Universe, and the linear cosmological structure arising from it. On top of that, he is a kind and conscientious scientist and educator. He has a bright future ahead!
-
In a paper posted today, led by #UCIrvine PhD student Cannon Vogel, we showed that the newly allowed large cosmological lepton numbers at early times open up a new regime of sterile neutrino dark matter production. The results are of interest for warm dark matter at the ~10 keV scale, with hard X-ray astronomical observatories sensitive to this parameter space.

UC Irvine and SoCalGas propose blending hydrogen into natural gas lines—but hydrogen will never replace natural gas as a heating fuel. Why? It’s over 3x less efficient than electric heat pumps and poses serious safety risks.

Well I knew the LAist was a left-wing alternative news outlet, but I guess I didn't know it's also an #antisemitic rag that reports Pallywood propaganda as though it were uncontested fact.
Some items of note in this piece:
The unqualified use of the term "nakba" to describe #Israel's victory in its defensive War of Independence.
The implication throughout that Haley was arrested for his speech or point of view. He was not: he was arrested for vandalism.
The mention of the recent incident in which the #UN erroneously suggested that 14,000 babies would starve "within 48 hours" in Gaza—without bothering to note that the UN was forced to retract that statement once it was shown to be false.
And thus Southern California continues to suffer from a lack of decent reporting, with the @latimes having turned into a MAGAt soapbox and left-wing journals falling into antisemitic rhetoric.

Congressman Dave Min gives a sobering assessment of the federal government’s support for science and education, when speaking tonight at a packed town hall at #UCIrvine
University leadership reported at the town hall that over $40 million in grants have been cancelled, and a massive slowdown in new awards, at a rate of 40% of that previously

Happy to join this student-organized panel at #UCIrvine.
I will focus on how the struggle for freedom and justice is not just a chapter in history—it is unfolding in our world today. This ongoing reality places a moral responsibility on all of us to act.

"How does non-violent protest turn to violence at the hands of the #police? How have national politics driven the responses to #StudentProtests? As university space has become more contested, particularly by political forces on the right, what do violent responses to protests mean for university values of #FreeSpeech?"

Dr. Ara Apkarian and I were live this morning on KUCI with Claudia Shambaugh's Ask A Leader, talking about Armenian Genocide in 2023 in Artsakh, which is threatened to continue further by Armenia's neighbors.
We include a condemnation of the complicity by silence and selective outrage of #UCIrvine Chancellor Gilman.

Disappointed, to say the least, in UCI leadership for not calling out an active genocide. Thank you to UCI ASA for acting on this. #ArtsakhGenocide #ArmenianGenocide2023 #UCIrvine
