This virtual team collects all independent research presented in 2017, and done by NITARP or Spitzer alumni with (or without) students outside of a formal NITARP team.
I felt as if I was on a treasure hunt to identify new methods of confirming redshift values for our candidate cluster members.
I think most people carry misconceptions of scientists as a whole... but I also think most people don't even personally know an astronomer or scientist. The fact that I know and have worked with scientists is going to be helpful to share with students.
I have already talked to my department about adding an astronomy research class to our class choices next year and they are very enthusiastic.
