Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Palmer

    I was nearly moved to tears watching the students share our research at the poster session.

  • Miller

    I think most people carry misconceptions of scientists as a whole... but I also think most people don't even personally know an astronomer or scientist. The fact that I know and have worked with scientists is going to be helpful to share with students.

  • Curtis

    After this experience, I’m more aware that beyond just teaching my students good science, my focus should be to prepare them for a career in science.
