CosmicAI Lightning Talk! MD. Khairul Islam is a PhD student at University of Virginia
Listen to the talk “Cosmo3DFlow: Reconstructing the Early Universe using Generative Models” @simonsfoundation.org
The AI Boot Camp for Astronomers is officially underway in collaboration with @taccutexas.bsky.social !
Students are already on day four of a weeklong, immersive training experience designed to help researchers build practical AI skills for astronomy.

Hot off the virtual presses: Jenna Samuel @texasastronomy.bsky.social) has led a huge new effort to understand galaxy formation in the early Universe. These simulations can serve as key comparisons with JWST observations to see where our best models do and do not work 🧪
