“The astronomy club enjoyed hearing from you yesterday. They loved hearing about exoplanets and astrobiology. Our enrichment period is at the end of the day, and sometimes students can be bouncing off the walls. Your insightful, thought provoking information on the search for life had them listening attentively. Thank you for spending your time opening them up to these existential questions and sharing your insights!”
