I'm so excited to be a Camp 4Science mentor at the AFO 60th International Festival of Science Documentary Films!
This week-long training and networking workshop stimulates production of new popular science projects, educates creators of popular science works, and helps projects reach next stage of development and establish important connections in the documentary industry.

#PPOD: GLASS-z12 (formerly GLASS-z13) is one of the oldest galaxies ever seen, dating back to 350 million years after the Big Bang. It was discovered in data collected by NIRCam on NASA's JWST in 2022. The youngest galaxy discovered to date is JADES-GS-z14-0, which is 50 million years older than GLASS-z12 and was discovered in JWST data in 2024. Credit: NASA/STScI/GLASS-JWST program: R. Naidu, G.
