I like finding new explosions in the universe, and with the ZTF I have the luxury to find and classify
several new supernovae each day (day in Stockholm is night on Palomar). I lead the ZTF transient working group within the partnership and steward the
SEDM spectroscopic follow-up. Each morning I start with a cup of coffee and saving a few new transients, that makes many thousands of supernovae by now.

Joining the ZTF partnership provides two tremendous benefits for our institutions.
First, of course, is access to the high-quality data products - many of our science interests are not covered by the public MSIP
survey, and the ZTF system is unparalleled in its capability to conduct deep, wide-area target-of-opportunity response in the optical.
More importantly, the partnership provides a framework to collaborate with an international team of exceptional scientists.
Particularly for our junior members (graduate students, postdocs), this network has been invaluable for their professional development.
