The HIPS AGaiN (Hidden in Plain Sight AGaiN) team will be using archival surveys for stellar variability to detect variability in active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the background.
I didn't anticipate meeting engineers and graphic artists [at the AAS].
The experience has and will continue to help me develop more effective uses of NASA/JPL resources for me and to promote professional development.
The networking is amazing. I could call up another NITARP teacher at the drop of my hat and just have a conversation. It’s awesome—the network you build with people who are just as curious and fired up as you are.
