They Might Be Giants are using data from the Kepler mission to classify the brightness changes of giant stars in an effort to understand how the observed brightness variations of giant stars may relate to the different stages of giant star evolution.
Having scientists explain their research and bringing it down to my level was very interesting and I learned so much!
I found it most interesting to see the scientific process in action. Scientists were questioning scientists, sometimes fairly aggressively.
I feel the NITARP experience will be a major influence for me here on out.
