This virtual team collects all independent research presented in 2014, and done by NITARP or Spitzer alumni with (or without) students outside of a formal NITARP team.
I'm also here with other educators, rubbing shoulders with them, seeing how they teach things, how they frame things, like what their mindset is. I keep opening my syllabus for the fall and adding things to it based on whatever we talked about here.
I believe having students work with other students from other schools has much value.
I found it most interesting to see the scientific process in action. Scientists were questioning scientists, sometimes fairly aggressively.
