SHORT BIO
Dr. Luisa Rebull is a professional astronomer working at IPAC at the California Institute of Technology (Pasadena, CA). She studies how stars form and how stars rotate as a function of time and mass. She works for NASA's Infrared Science Archive (IRSA; https://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu) which is NASA's repository for long-wavelength data. About 12% of all refereed astronomy research journal articles published worldwide per year use data that come from IRSA. Luisa's job is to help make that data accessible to the astronomy community -- which includes educators. She also runs a program called the NASA/IPAC Teacher Archive Research Program (NITARP; https://nitarp.ipac.caltech.edu/) which partners small groups of educators with research astronomers for a year-long authentic research project.
