Hungry Giants- WISE Excesses and Lithium Study (HG-WELS) - studying giants which may or may not be eating planets, and may or may not be ejecting enough dust as a result so as to be bright in the infrared.
One of the most interesting things I learned while working with my team was how unique and surprising each star can be.
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.
For me as an educator, it was really rejuvenating to come out here (and bring a student with) and dive into actual astronomical research.
