This virtual team collects all independent research presented in 2014, and done by NITARP or Spitzer alumni with (or without) students outside of a formal NITARP team.
I’m excited to tell my students about this research and share my experiences from the [AAS] last week.
I have already talked to my department about adding an astronomy research class to our class choices next year and they are very enthusiastic.
The networking is amazing. I could call up another NITARP teacher at the drop of my hat and just have a conversation. It’s awesome—the network you build with people who are just as curious and fired up as you are.
