January 2006 updates for Mr. Blackwell

Published: January 15, 2006

Mr. Blackwell attended the AAS meeting in Washington D.C.. He learned quite a bit via the talks by Gregory Rudnick concerning the IR studies of galaxy clusters. His astronomical studies have focused on cataclysmic variables, "so galactic studies are quite new to me and a pleasure. Photometry in the IR of galaxies is all new to me." He learned a lot about the various methods used to calculate star birth rates using Spitzer (and other) data.

A NITARP pause: we are not expecting to be able to support a NITARP 2026 class as a result of the current funding uncertainty. We hope to resume in 2027.
