Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Novatne

    I assumed that [research] would require a great deal of data analysis, what I didn’t grasp until after this[, my first AAS] meeting was how focused and detailed the analysis would be. The steps in understanding that are gained through the analysis are much smaller than I anticipated they would be for the amount of work that is done.

  • Doyle

    I never met a scientist who did not want to discuss their work.

  • Palmer

    NITARP is the most intense and satisfying professional development programs I have participated in.
