I've been involved in many professional development activities and this is by far the best one I've ever done

This NITARP alumni team is investigating the ages of some young clusters.

I am very impressed at the abilities of the [NITARP 2012] youngsters in handling the science. It is wonderful to see teachers engaging students in this way as it is an experience that could help direct them toward becoming scientists.
It's really fun to do this project, not just by myself, but with a student.
I was surprised how many people I now know after 2 AAS [meetings]. There were quite a few people who remembered me and were interested in talking with me. This was fun (I like talking with people) and disruptive as I did not make as many talks as I anticipated.
