I've just published the first release of show-your.work since I've taken over development from (apologies in advance!): github.com/showyourwork/s
I'm excited about the future of this project, even though Rodrigo has moved on to bigger and better things!

Rumors of the demise of the standard cosmological model are greatly exaggerated, but recent findings by JWST are causing astronomers to reconsider what they know about galaxies.

My student Sabrina Appel shows the star formation rate in molecular clouds is set by the gas inflow rate at disk scales! First of many interesting papers on this topic as we understand how the gas inflow rate connects to larger galactic scales!
