Notre plus ancien programme, Extrême Univers et gravité, a été renouvelé pour la dernière fois.
Après de grandes réussites, comme CHIME, les responsables du programme se penchent maintenant sur l’astronomie des phénomènes transitoires: cifar.ca/fr/cifarnews/2023/0…

Super happy that @TSIMcGill and @McGillUPhysics postdoctoral fellow, Kristen Dage, is on this illustrious list of NHFP recipients!! Kristen, you are awesome and it's been amazing working with you the past several years!!
Meet the 2023 class of the NASA Hubble Fellowship Program!
These 24 Fellows will pursue independent research in any area of NASA Astrophysics. The program grants them three years of support at an American university or research center of their choosing: go.nasa.gov/3zsHoA1
