Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Linda

    I’m excited to tell my students about this research and share my experiences from the [AAS] last week.

  • Mark

    I kept wishing this program had been available when I was a kid. Wanting to be a scientist, I had no role model or support and never pursued it.

  • Kate

    ...the most interesting thing I noticed this year [at my second AAS] was that I spent much more time seeking out, listening to and talking about science than I did about education itself.
