The CHOIR Collaboration, including UW members Drs. Arianna Long and Gourav Khullar, exemplifies a commitment to challenging conventional wisdom in astronomy. Their upcoming conference "New Data that Challenge Underlying Assumptions in Early Galaxy Evolution" has secured prestigious Heising-Simons funding and will bring leading researchers to Acadia National Park in Maine this summer. This gathering represents exactly the kind of bold, assumption-challenging science we need as JWST data pour in. The CHOIR Collaboration has also launched a vital mutual aid program to support colleagues affected by recent federal funding disruptions that have impacted the space sciences community. This initiative demonstrates our field's commitment to supporting one another through challenging times. Those seeking support or wishing to contribute can find more information through the CHOIR Collaboration website.
