Kristy McQuinn and Alyson Brooks are on one of only 13 "Early Release Science" teams, chosen world-wide, for the soon-to-be-launched (10/31/2021) Webb Space Telescope.  These teams, chosen via a highly competitive process, will be among the first users of the WST.  Kristy is scientific leader and Alyson collaborator on the team selected to study resolved starts in nearby galaxies.
