Did you know that astronomers had already collected the first batch of data from the legendary James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)? How have these new results revolutionized our understanding of the Universe? Join the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (KIPAC) at Stanford University for a mini lecture series on JWST science! Register today for the first lecture on October 25.
During this 3-lecture series, you will be hearing about the new insights we have gained from JWST into the first galaxies, cosmology, and exoplanets. Join KIPAC on October 25 for the first lecture! This series is open to all but recommended for high-school students (or advanced middle-school students) and above.
Public Astronomy Lecture - Oct. 25 (Tuesday) at 7pm PDT
Date: Tuesday, Oct. 25, 2022
Time: 7:00-8:00 PM PDT
Location: Hewlett Teaching Center 201 (Stanford) and YouTube. The event URL can be found at the bottom of the EventBrite registration confirmation email.
Title: The James Webb Space Telescope: A New Era of Distant Galaxies
Speaker: Dr. Wren Suess (KIPAC/Stanford & UC Santa Cruz)
The most distant galaxies in the universe cannot be seen from the Earth, and are invisible at the optical wavelengths seen by the Hubble Space Telescope. This means that understanding the earliest history of our universe requires a space-based telescope that can see infrared light. In this lecture, Dr. Suess will describe the >25 years of incredible planning and engineering that went into making this goal a reality. Specifically, she will discuss some of the earliest and most exciting science results from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), including insights into the most distant galaxies humans have ever seen and previously-invisible giant galaxies. Dr. Suess will close the lecture by talking about outlooks for the future and the science JWST observations will make possible in the next few years.
Tickets: Free but RSVP is required. (Note: school-district email addresses and other work emails with firewalls may block the EventBrite messages)
Information: Dr. Xinnan Du at xinnandu@stanford.edu

The Society of Women Engineers at UC Berkeley is once again hosting Mini University, a free program that provides high school students in the Bay Area the opportunity to learn more about majors and careers in engineering through hands-on engineering activities, professors' talks, and interactions with Berkeley engineering students and organizations. This program would be beneficial for students who may be considering a major or career in the STEM fields, but have not had significant exposure to science or engineering outside of the classroom. Apply by October 28 at https://tinyurl.com/miniuappfa22
For Fall 2022, Mini University will be held in-person on Wednesday, November 16th at UC Berkeley! Expect a day full of fun and interactive activities to learn about what being a Berkeley Engineer is all about! The program is from 8am to 3:30pm on the 16th. Applications will be open from now until Friday, October 28th, 11:59 PM PT, and students of all genders are welcome to apply. They especially encourage students from first-generation, low-income, and/or minority backgrounds to apply (this includes Asian).
For this program, SWE can provide a letter that will provide students with an excused absence for the day, and they will also be able to provide reimbursements; their program is completely free and they want to make it as inclusive as possible for all students.
Apply today!
Please email swe.miniu@gmail.com or vivian.chung@berkeley.edu if you have any questions |

You’ll also hear stories of chasing the perfect shot from The Marine Mammal Center’s conservation photographer and have a chance to reflect on the impact these photos have on you. You’ll leave equipped with the knowledge needed to go out into the world and share conservation stories through your visual works. Experienced photographers and those with a new interest alike are invited to participate in this event.
When: Sat, October 29th, 2022 from 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM PDT
Where: The Marine Mammal Center, 2000 Bunker Road, Sausalito, CA 94965
