“This project taught me a lot because I not only learned about astrophysics (specifically chemical tagging and stellar evolution), but I also learned about evolutionary biology. I also learned R, which will be helpful for other applications at MIT. As for skills I brought from MIT, it was very useful to have experience in coding in different languages so I could easily pick up R.”
