Today I went to the CFH Headquarters for a tour. Dr. Moutou showed me around the headquarters and gave me insight to the careers that people working for CFH have. There is a great variety of types of jobs for the telescope from research positions, operation jobs, engineering, and software management. I met a few of the workers and had conversations with them about many things from TMT, to HPA, college, etc. Touring CFH was helpful for me to gain first-hand insight from the astronomy side of this TMT situation and was also encouragement for me to continue my work of supporting TMT. Dr. Moutou also gave me a lot of insight to the career path of being an astronomer. She answered a lot of my questions about getting a Ph. D and what it entails.
Tonight, I will be sitting in on an observation at Keck Headquarters with Dr. Lyke
