Quotes

• I assumed that [research] would require a great deal of data analysis, what I didn’t grasp until after this[, my first AAS] meeting was how focused and detailed the analysis would be. The steps in understanding that are gained through the analysis are much smaller than I anticipated they would be for the amount of work that is done.

• The experience has changed my understanding of astronomy and how it is done, but not of astronomers.

• By far, the most interesting part of my entire NITARP experience is the scientific method applied to the discovery process.

• I really feel that NITARP is a gem of a program.
