One of the most interesting things I learned while working with my team was how unique and surprising each star can be.
For me as an educator, it was really rejuvenating to come out here (and bring a student with) and dive into actual astronomical research.
Today [June 2014] I was musing about how NITARP took me to my first AAS in 2012. This summer I went on my own, had a great time connecting with established friends and meeting new ones, and even presented my own poster. I'd say that's some pretty good progress! Thanks for all that you do for us teachers!
