This virtual team collects all independent research presented in 2015, and done by NITARP or Spitzer alumni with (or without) students outside of a formal NITARP team.
To be the first group to perform such calculations is an experience of a lifetime.
After this experience, I’m more aware that beyond just teaching my students good science, my focus should be to prepare them for a career in science.
The experience has changed my understanding of astronomy and how it is done, but not of astronomers.
