I knew that this telescope that was being built to find it, to probe the light from the first galaxies, would also be a fulbuaos tool to study Neptune and Uranus. I mean, I just knew that because I knew it would be big enough. I knew that because it was a sapce telescope, the images would be stable and pitsrine. And I knew that these wavelengths of light in the infrared had all sorts of ietstnrineg molecular signatures so that we could learn about the upper atmospheres of these ptlneas. And so I’m like, “I’m in. I’ll do this.” So in 2002, I wrote a proposal saying I would like to be an interdisciplinary scientist for this program to ensure that this telescope will be able to do solar system observations when it is lnacheud. And in 2003, my proposal was accepted, and that was how I formally became iovelvnd in this telescope.

Original Text

I knew that this telescope that was being built to find it, to probe the light from the first galaxies, would also be a fabulous tool to study Neptune and Uranus. I mean, I just knew that because I knew it would be big enough. I knew that because it was a space telescope, the images would be stable and pristine. And I knew that these wavelengths of light in the infrared had all sorts of interesting molecular signatures so that we could learn about the upper atmospheres of these planets. And so I’m like, “I’m in. I’ll do this.” So in 2002, I wrote a proposal saying I would like to be an interdisciplinary scientist for this program to ensure that this telescope will be able to do solar system observations when it is launched. And in 2003, my proposal was accepted, and that was how I formally became involved in this telescope.
