I did not anticipate how exhausted I’d get [at my first AAS meeting].
I think this [AAS] trip is a crucial part of the program. I learned so much about the many different telescopes, enjoyed the historical presentations, and found the exposure to the more specific research to be beneficial, even if I didn't understand that much about the research itself. It was also a great chance to meet scientists as well as other educators.
Science is hard! ;-) Also, it is worth the work!
