Welcome to the June edition of DiRAC’s newsletter!
As the academic year ends, we have an exciting lineup of updates to share with you, showcasing the achievements and outreach made by our excellent team members.
On March 1st, 2023 DiRAC hosted the first of a series of events “A New Era of Discovery: Mapping the Universe with the Rubin Observatory” at the UW Planetarium.
On April 6, 2023, DiRAC and UW Astronomy participated in the annual Husky Giving Day event. It was another successful drive for support of our student research programs, with more than 20 individual donors raising a total of over $15,000!
In Fall 2021, Harish Krishnakumar reached out to DiRAC Research Scientist Bryce Kalmbach to be his research mentor for a science fair project detecting and studying the properties of ring galaxies in large extragalactic galaxy surveys.
