Hungry Giants- WISE Excesses and Lithium Study (HG-WELS) - studying giants which may or may not be eating planets, and may or may not be ejecting enough dust as a result so as to be bright in the infrared.
After this experience, I’m more aware that beyond just teaching my students good science, my focus should be to prepare them for a career in science.
NITARP has transformed my life and the way I teach, so it's difficult to find anything that has NOT been influenced by this experience!
[The most interesting thing during the summer trip was] the change in the students and their growth in confidence. The a-ha moments when the big picture came into focus for them. The tour of
JPL was fantastic, too.
