caption: ``Research Topics in Astronomy has been my favorite class at <PERSON>. We are doing cutting-edge research thanks to Dr. <PERSON>'s connections within the professional astronomy community and our great resource: the Observatory. The fact that we are solving real-world problems and not just abstract concepts on paper is really exciting--I'm understanding how the material I'm learning can be used to do actual research, not just memorizing formulas and taking tests.''
