The PERYSCOPE Project is co-led by Katie Devine, Professor of Physics at The College of Idaho; Charles Kerton, Associate Professor of Astronomy at Iowa State University; and Grace Wolf-Chase, Senior Scientist/ Senior Education & Communication Specialist at the Planetary Science Institute. Our team has worked together for years to explore what yellowballs can tell us about the conditions that give rise to the diverse populations of stars in our Milky Way Galaxy.

About us
About us
Katie Devine teaches physics and astronomy at The College of Idaho, a small liberal arts college near Boise, ID. She is passionate about providing research experiences for undergraduates at all levels, whether through summer-long internships in her research group or through classroom activities like PERYSCOPE. Dr. Devine's research is focused on star formation, using observational data at infrared and radio wavelengths.
Charles Kerton is an associate professor of astronomy at Iowa State University. His research is in the area of observational studies of star formation and the physics of the interstellar medium and makes use of a wide variety of observational facilities ranging from the enormous 110-m diameter Green Bank radio telescope to the 0.8-m orbiting Spitzer Space Telescope in the infrared.
Grace Wolf-Chase is one of the co-founders of the Milky Way Project. She is an author or coauthor on four of the seven publications produced by the Milky Way Project to date. In addition to conducting research on the formation of stars, she is passionate about bringing real science experiences to everyone. Her efforts include collaborating with the AAAS Dialogue on Science, Ethics, and Religion (DoSER) to engage faith-based communities in people-powered research.
