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.
Since starting with NITARP, my Astronomy Research Course has grown by leaps and bounds. Much of this has to do with conversation I have and connections I make at the AAS each year.
I felt as if I was on a treasure hunt to identify new methods of confirming redshift values for our candidate cluster members.
This experience has reinforced to me the importance of learning science by doing science.
