Meet the team

Before the actual Noche event, the MESA Schools Program and the James Lick Observatory take graduate students to the seven different school sites to have an interactive optics demonstration with students. With this demonstration, we hope to share the basics of telescopes with students so that there can be a fluid discussion and presentations at the Observatory. Although graduate students have not been identified for the 2018 Noche event, Asher Wasserman-- Lead Graduate Student and the Demonstration Coordinator-- will be actively recruiting the best-of-the-best from our Physical and Biological Science division to help introduce our students to the breathtaking world of Astronomy.
