Quotes

The steps in understanding that are gained through the analysis are much smaller than I anticipated they would be for the amount of work that is done.

  • The experience has changed my understanding of astronomy and how it is done, but not of astronomers.

  • By far, the most interesting part of my entire NITARP experience is the scientific method applied to the discovery process.

  • I really feel that NITARP is a gem of a program.
