Cake Talk by Dan Coe

JWST spectroscopy has revealed the physical properties of hundreds of high-redshift galaxies obseved in the first billion years at z > 6. Metallicities are perhaps a bit higher than expected. Element abundance ratios are usually normal but occasionally bizarre. What is going on inside early galaxies? And will fainter galaxies prove more typical and representative? Gravitational lensing can help answer both questions. Lensing has revealed the inner workings of one faint (M_UV > -18) galaxy down to individual star clusters with radii 1 parsec in the z = 10 Cosmic Gems arc. I will discuss those recent results plus brand new results on MACS0647-JD (z=10.2), including the first z > 10 measurements of direct metallicity and electron density from our Cycle 2 MIRI + NIRSpec data. In addition to those Cycle 2 results, I'll look ahead to Cycle 3 and beyond.
