Dust grain size distributions evolve from large-grain dominated at high redshift to MRN-like at low redshift, driven primarily by shattering and ISM accretion after stars supply initial large grains, reproducing z=0 dust masses and Milky Way extinction properties.

Massive galaxies at z>3.5 assembled stars earlier than theoretical models predict and exhibit gray dust attenuation, especially at the highest masses.
JWST spectra of galaxies reveal a ~110 cMpc ionized bubble at z~6 with IGM transmission 0.17, an order of magnitude above average, linked to a galaxy overdensity.
High-redshift HeII emitter observations confirm a >50% PopIII stellar mass fraction and favor top-heavy IMFs for the first stars with total masses 2e4 to 6e5 solar masses.
Dust attenuation follows a universal mass-dependent relation from z=0 to 7 with a transition at 10^9 solar masses where nebular attenuation steepens relative to stellar.
JADES DR5 delivers 2081 z_phot > 8 galaxy candidates with UV slope trends, morphological evidence of clumpy growth, and improved photo-z methods tested on a spectroscopic subsample.
