I love learning about the myriad ways astronomers figure out how to make lemonade out of lemons. It almost seems like cheating sometimes, but it isn't. Astronomers are just so crafty when it comes to figuring out how to make the best use of the data they have.
This experience has forced me to look at something new and has inspired me to enrich and improve my classes.
I am excited to embark on this research and feel lucky to be part of the experience.
