The goal of SHIPs (Searching Herschel Images for Protostars) is to find and identify stars in the earliest phases of formation in NGC 281, a.k.a. "the pac-man nebula". These stars will help us understand the history of the star formation process in that region.
[..]Students who are given the opportunity to do "real science" generally find a greater deal of success when it comes to understanding concepts (and at a deeper level).
Thank you for opening such a wonderful door of opportunity for me. These two years have been the best professional learning experience of my career.
I just think experiencing a conference of this size and magnitude is terrific.
