I remember hearing the teachers mention Fermilab a few times, just wondering if you'd done the same thing they were doing?

No, I haven't met her. Dan VanDenBerk, now at U of Pittsburgh, was at Fermilab while I was there. The Fermilab gig was a year long teacher fellowship as opposed to a summer RET.
The NRAO position last summer was an RET.
Sounds like you are doing some great work, Andromeda. When you get to college, be sure to keep tabs on opportunities in the Research Experience for Undergraduates program. It provides summer research at various sites and in various disciplines for undergrad students. Check it out at
