This virtual team collects all independent research presented in 2008, and done by Spitzer alumni with students outside of a formal Spitzer team. Mr. Spuck's students worked on classifying galaxies in the Spitzer observations of the Taurus Molecular Cloud.
I enjoyed the whole week [at my first AAS]. The aspect that was best was connecting with my teammates. The personal contact at this early stage was important.
It was amazing being, not just an attendee of the conference, but a real part of it through the poster presentations.
I actually felt like I was able to accomplish something that would have some meaning to the scientific community.
