Relieved to report that our PHANGS paper has finally been accepted for publication in ApJ! To our knowledge, this is the first census for dust obscured star-formation at the star cluster scale across a broad set of nearby galaxies. 🧵[1/n]🔭🧪#extragalactic

✨🔭🧪 Looking ahead to #HWO25, inspiration from 1989: the 1st JWST workshop proceedings, 9 months b4 Hubble’s launch. On cover: the then-imagined groundbreaking observations of a galaxy at redshift ONE. How far we’ve come! #HWO25 will shape a similar 'community science book' for the next era.
