\u201cAre we alone?\u201d asked Amber Young<\/strong>, a third-year graduate student in the Department of Astronomy and Planetary Sciences at NAU.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m heavily engaged in the search for life elsewhere. The age-old question of \u2018are we alone?\u2019 is a compelling one, and I\u2019ve made a commitment to contribute as much as I can to answering it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Young is the recipient of a prestigious training grant from NASA to help her do just that. The grant helps fund research opportunities for students who attend a minority serving institution (MSI) and are doing STEM research that contributes to NASA\u2019s overarching goal of space exploration. It will provide Young with three years of funding for her proposed research project and opportunities to work at Goddard Space Flight Center.<\/p>\n
