I feel the NITARP experience will be a major influence for me here on out.
I found it most interesting to see the scientific process in action. Scientists were questioning scientists, sometimes fairly aggressively.
By participating in NITARP, I'm leading by example as I'm trying to be a lifelong learner. The students are seeing that there are things that I don't understand, and it's not in a ‘gotcha’ type of way, but in a more reassuring way that we're all going through this together. I like collaborating with my students as if they were colleagues of mine, and I think that is a very redeeming prospect of this opportunity that will benefit them in the long run.
