The team examined the Spitzer Enhanced Imaging Products catalog to find the most unusual and faintest infrared excess objects serendipitously detected by the Spitzer Space Telescope.
[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.
My robotics students are very wowed by the fact that I met a flight director for the Mars Curiosity Rover.
This experience has reinforced to me the importance of learning science by doing science.
