I've been involved in many professional development activities and this is by far the best one I've ever done

BINAP is the BIg Nitarp Alumni Project

I kept wishing this program had been available when I was a kid. Wanting to be a scientist, I had no role model or support and never pursued it.
I was surprised how many people I now know after 2 AAS [meetings]. There were quite a few people who remembered me and were interested in talking with me. This was fun (I like talking with people) and disruptive as I did not make as many talks as I anticipated.
The NITARP experience was terrific from start to finish – well organized, informative, and unique.
