Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Melton

    [I did not anticipate] meeting a Nobel Prize Winner – Saul Perlmutter – and getting a picture with him.

  • Johnson

    Standing by the poster nearly all day, my three girls described our [research]. To say that I was proud would be a gross understatement.

  • Rutherford

    I think that my NITARP experience is one of the best things that I have ever done in my life, both as an educator and as an individual. I have found that I really like doing research and plan to continue that in the future both with my students and as an individual.
