One of the most interesting things I learned while working with my team was how unique and surprising each star can be.
To me what stood out [at my first AAS] was the wide variety of work – from characterization of the structure of the Milky Way (more of a challenge than I ever knew!) to the search for and characterization of exoplanets to the understanding of how quasar evolution relates to the origins of the Universe.
I'm always looking for things to do that help me to improve, to be a better teacher, and to be better for my kids. They'll learn from the things that I’ve learned, and it will be more applicable to real world stuff.
