This virtual team collects all independent research presented in 2012, and done by NITARP or Spitzer alumni with students outside of a formal NITARP team. Two different teams presented posters in 2012.
Over all, the NITARP experience was nothing I had ever experienced before as a teacher. The research was very interesting and challenging at the same time.
NITARP has been the best experience I have ever had for my personal and professional development as an astronomy educator.
Astronomers are a remarkably collaborative lot.
