IDYL is the IDentification of YSOs in the Lagoon Nebula. This team is looking for known and new YSOs in M8, the Lagoon Nebula.
How cool for the kids see a poster right next to theirs being presented by three university professors on one side and a graduate student on the other.
I thought the talks and posters were great. Watching scientists talk to each other and question each other was interesting.
I was surprised and very encouraged to see a high proportion of people which are generally considered underrepresented in the sciences. That was a terrific take-home message for my students.
