You and this program (NITARP) have been truly remarkable and has already changed my life forever. I'm just waiting to see what happens next.
I have already talked to my department about adding an astronomy research class to our class choices next year and they are very enthusiastic.
I think the best part about the trip and NITARP as a whole is the chance to do authentic research and learn the methods and techniques used to tease as much information out of the data as possible. It still amazes me (and this is what I try to instill in the students in my astronomy classes) that we can learn so much from a tiny point of light if we are just clever enough to know how to look at it.
