An Introduction to the LSST Camera: Status and Performance

In this talk, I’ll review the basic design of the LSST Camera, the largest digital camera ever built, with particular attention to some of its unique features and how they enable the LSST survey.  The Camera’s assembly is now complete and it is undergoing a final round of testing at SLAC prior to shipment to Chile later this fall.  Recent and current work on the Camera will be described and I’ll summarize results from the laboratory electro-optical testing program

Supporting Scientific Excellence and Those Who Animate It

The Astro2020 Decadal Survey report, ‘Pathways to Discovery in Astronomy and Astrophysics for the 2020s’, was groundbreaking in its attention to addressing concerns of data access and the astro workforce in support of scientific excellence.

In this talk, I will discuss how many in the Rubin ecosystem and leadership are addressing these Decadal Survey recommendations. I will also highlight resources being developed to further promote best practices in collaborative research.
