Great video. I have to say I am very impressed with your work Lara!
It's great to see Lara's talents and efforts highlighted. She contributes so much to the educational mission of our Astronomy program, at all age and educational levels ranging from our undergraduate students to, apparently, infants! I'm sure it's also interesting for the general public to see what kinds of interesting things U.T. staff members do.
