Hungry Giants- WISE Excesses and Lithium Study (HG-WELS) - studying giants which may or may not be eating planets, and may or may not be ejecting enough dust as a result so as to be bright in the infrared.
To be the first group to perform such calculations is an experience of a lifetime.
It was delight to watch the students explain the poster – usually followed by shock as the person listening noticed they were middle and high school students! Here is to the next generation – they are amazing.
The experience has and will continue to help me develop more effective uses of NASA/JPL resources for me and to promote professional development.
