Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Screen_shot_2013-03-14_at_3.05.26_pm

    NITARP was a great experience for both myself and my students.

  • Mike

    [at the 2013 AAS,] I was always struck by the focus on ensuring the data is real and using modeling to create templates when classifying objects or processes.

  • Curtis

    The NITARP experience is truly phenomenal, and our scientist was wonderful to work with – never condescending and always very clear in his explanations.
