My skills and knowledge as a science teacher have grown exponentially in the last year.
[The best thing about the trip was} Doing real science. I can't say enough how much I value the opportunity NITARP has given me to be part of real astronomy research for the first time in my career. Bringing back the knowledge, the feeling of not knowing, the drive to continue to find an answer and the skills that I needed to work in a group will be so helpful to me and my students.
One of the most interesting things I learned while working with my team was how unique and surprising each star can be.
