Investigtating Moving-group Photometry and Understanding Lightcurve Structures (IMPULS) will be studying rotation rates of stars in the young nearby Beta Pic Moving Group.
For me as an educator, it was really rejuvenating to come out here (and bring a student with) and dive into actual astronomical research.
Being a mentor teacher is easy because these teachers are fantastic. They're just off and running with the project.
[My first AAS] was an excellent experience all around, and gives me confidence that my team and I will be able to do a good job with our project and be great representatives of the NITARP program.
