Mining current optical and infrared databases to find variable active galactic nuclei.
This year [at the AAS] was so much different than last year [because of] having a poster to share with others!
I learned that there is a lot I need to learn!
What makes NITARP extraordinary is the level of commitment: both the program's commitment to teachers, and the commitment required from teachers. Teachers commit to a year of hard work, study, risk taking, and intellectual growth. In return, NITARP commits to teachers the most precious resource possible: attentive and supportive mentorship from astronomers at one of the world's premiere research institutions. For me and my students the results have been transformative.
