TIP @ PARI day 6

Today began with the "nuts and bolts" (to quote Dr. Castelaz) of operating the radio telescopes. Students learned about the software and procedures used to move the 26 meter radio telescopes. Jamie and Kristina followed with their astrobiology presentations. After lunch, Dr. Chris Brown from NC State gave a talk about the effects of a space environment on biology, such as plants or the human body, and what essentials are needed for humans to travel or live in space. Dr. Blake instructed the students on the operation of the optical telescopes. Students will be using both the optical and radio telescopes to complete their research projects. For dinner, we hit the town of Brevard and the Twin Dragons Chinese Buffet. Our TA Art (and several others) definately got their money's worth.
