Congrats to Gavin Ockert, who won 1st place in the SpaceVision Research Symposium competition for tSZ measurements with @act-pol.bsky.social data! Gavin is an outstanding undergrad researcher in our group, and it's wonderful to see him recognized on a national stage!

Look at this glorious view of the CCAT site! The Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope structures are now all present on Cerro Chajnantor, over 18,000 ft (5,600 m) above sea level.
