Over spring break, Professor Kathryn Johnston hosted a group of 30 high-school students from the New York Harbor School. Prof. Johnston discussed her research on "galatic cannibalism" which focuses on how the Milky Way has evolved over time by gravitational interactions with other galaxies, i.e., capturing and accreting them. Prof. Johnston also spoke with the students about various career paths into science. Following the talk, the students toured the Rutherfurd Observatory with undergraduate Doug Thornhill.
