I did not anticipate how exhausted I’d get [at my first AAS meeting].
Finally much of the [AAS 2009] invited talk by Eugene Churazov on Galaxy Clusters and Black Holes I found to be understandable because he used many equations from ideal gas laws that are familiar to high school teachers and their students. In talking with Dr. Churazov after his talk, he re-emphasized how far one could go on this topic with these familiar and seemingly simple equations.
Thank you for opening such a wonderful door of opportunity for me. These two years have been the best professional learning experience of my career.
