Outreach and Broader Impacts

  • Education
    • The post-baccalaureate program could have been more ambitious, e.g. more positions.
    • A plan for working with undergraduates was not developed.
    • How to reach out URM students? [Panel Summary][Detailed Review]
  • Outreach
    • Open Sources:
      • How exactly would one get the word out and have those tools get noticed and utilized in a broader setting?
    • Zooniverse and/or Adler planetarium:
      • official collaborative engagement, e.g. letter of collaboration.
      • exploration of Zooniverse for anomaly detection
  • Engagement with the HDR community is limited
