This fall, the National Academy of Sciences set priorities for the field of astronomy and astrophysics in its Astro2020 decadal survey and endorsed CMB-S4—an experiment in the planning stages to map the remnant light from the Big Bang that will provide insight into the most energetic processes in the universe and reveal what drives galaxy growth.
CMB-S4, which comprises an ambitious set of observatories in Chile and the South Pole, has named two new co-spokespeople: Jeff McMahon, Associate Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Chicago, and Kevin Huffenberger, Associate Professor of Physics at Florida State University.
