Title: “Jewels of the JWST: How the Webb Telescope is Changing Our Understanding of the Universe”

Abstract: Since the James Webb Space Telescope has started operating it has challenged and enriched our understanding of how fast the Universe is expanding, how galaxies emerge earlier than we thought, and the diverse composition of planet forming disks. In this talk I will explain many of these exciting discoveries and the new synergies between the Webb and cutting edge ground based telescopes.
