I just wanted to comment on some of the media coverage of our recent AMI papers - we regret a comparison in the press release with HST, which has been amplified in the subsequent coverage like in the linked article. This has got a bit out of hand and we've edited the PR to emphasise this.

Really happy with the write-up in the @sydmorningherald.bsky.social of our work with JWST interferometry, with quotes from me, @spiralstar.bsky.social, and @gradientrider.bsky.social, and above all a great photoshoot with @maxecharles.bsky.social showing his tattoo of the instrument!
This $10 billion telescope was taking blurry pictures. Sydney students fixed it
The extraordinary James Webb Space Telescope had a major problem before two young scientists unlocked its full potential.

Thrilled to have two years' of work out, in a pair of papers led by @gradientrider.bsky.social and @maxecharles.bsky.social.
We've built a data-driven calibration of the James Webb Interferometer to near its fundamental limits for high-res imaging - explainer at @aunz.theconversation.com!

How we sharpened the James Webb telescope’s vision from a million kilometres away
The only Australian hardware on board the legendary telescope is starting to fulfil its duties.

Thanks @benjaminpope.bsky.social! None of this would have been possible without your guidance and unending dedication to your students 🙌🙌🎉
