Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Thompson

    The more I talked with astronomers and support staff at the different booths [at my first AAS], the more I began to realize that being a teacher, and an amateur astronomer, is really very different from being a professional astronomer.

  • Novatne

    I really feel that NITARP is a gem of a program.

  • Robert

    Astronomers, all of whom are scientists, can be personal, funny, and outright social beings.
