Also new for #JWSTCycle3 is that #blackerfriday is now #alexfriday! The legendary Brett Blacker retired, and Alex Hamanowicz has taken his mantle. Thanks Alex!

Very pleased to have quite a few proposals I contributed to clear the insanely high bar for #JWSTCycle3 acceptance. It looks like I’ll be continuing my high-z science/exoplanets tango 🌌🪐💃

Brutal morning of rejections, as always. 🔭🪐🧪 #JWST #JWSTCycle3

Turns out you don't just get a bonus day this leap year.. you get a bonus #JWSTCycle3 results day!!!

Wishes for a therapeutic recovery from #JWSTCycle3 proposals

#JWSTCycle3 will officially be the most number of proposals received for any one ground- or space-based proposal cycle in the history of astronomy, beating ALMA Cycle 6 by ~100 proposals. Unofficial number is ~1,937 JWST Cycle 3 proposals.

We just need half as many people as #JWSTcycle3 proposals that went in to make this much needed "consolation prize" a reality when the cycle 3 results come out....!

Uh oh... 😬🔭 #JWSTCycle3

The combination of the #JWSTcycle3 deadline followed closely by the NASA probe proposal deadline and the NSF deadline is sure making for an interesting October and November... (Unpacking will have to wait for December!)
