IC417 : using WISE, 2MASS, Spitzer/Warm IRAC, UKIDSS, IPHAS, and literature optical data to look for young stars in the IC417 region.
My highlight of the [Caltech] trip was watching my two students present data on a source which they had analyzed.
For me, [this project] was a real partnership between scientists and educators. All questions and suggestion were taken seriously and with respect.
Being able to be physically present at Caltech and the AAS expanded the impact of this program significantly. It was in these settings, in particular, where one could see how the scientific enterprise typically works and how ideas are often shared.
