This program is meant to guide and expose undergraduate students to the life of an astronomer and a diversity of research topics. Every month, an astronomer is invited to share their academic path, research, and life story. Astronomers are normal people and it is important to realize the aspects we have in common and the differences. An important component we discuss during our webinar involves many professional development topics that are not formally thought in a regular classroom.
