CephC-LABS (Looking For Baby Stars): continuing a study of the star-forming region Ceph C, exending into the longest wavelength data available.
NITARP is the best professional development (PD) program I have participated in and I have participated in many PD programs.
By far, the most interesting part of my entire NITARP experience is the scientific method applied to the discovery process.
When I look at how the intellectual process changed over the last year I imagine it going from a diffuse look at research and the entire conference experience to the extreme focus on our own project during the year and finally reaching outward again in Seattle to incorporate new information and understandings. Returning to AAS made the experience complete.
