Astronomers using the U.S. National Science Foundation National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NSF NRAO) instruments are unveiling new scientific research that probes some of the most extreme environments in the universe. This news will be shared in press conferences at the 248th American Astronomical Society (AAS) meeting in Pasadena, June 14th-18th.

Cosmic Dawn Fuel Discovery Unlocks Early Galaxy Growth Secrets
Astronomers have discovered a huge reservoir of cold molecular gas, the direct fuel for star formation, in REBELS-25, a massive, star-forming galaxy.
Milky Way’s Black Hole Finally Caught ‘Breathing’
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have finally found clear evidence that the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*(Sgr A*), is blowing a hot cosmic wind – something scientists have been hunting for over 50 years.
AUI’s Tim Spuck, co-editor of Einstein Fellows
Tim Spuck is the AUI STEM Education Development Officer for the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. He earned his master’s degree in science education from Clarion University of Pennsylvania and is nearing completion of a D.Ed. in curriculum and instruction at West Virginia University.
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education is seen by leaders from across the globe as key to economic success and prosperity. Einstein Fellows attempts to improve the state of STEM education, not only here in the United States, but internationally as well. As the body of STEM-learning research grows, this volume provides the unique perspective of nationally recognized educators who have spent, collectively, more than 400,000 hours at the interface between teaching and learning. Each chapter communicates how its author has implemented a specific STEM practice in the classroom and how the practice might be modified for use in other classrooms, schools, and learning environments.
