Alison is an astronomy major who graduated in 2016, and was profiled by the College of Arts & Sciences for their "Extraordinary Journeys" series.
Here, Alison describes how conducting research with Professor Martha Haynes was her "most profound turning point while at Cornell":
"When I first contacted Professor Haynes looking for research opportunities that autumn, I had no way of knowing that she would become a devoted mentor to me and one of the most supportive people I've had the good fortune to meet in college. I am so grateful to Professor Haynes for teaching me everything I know about conducting scientific research and for her continued support throughout my Cornell career."
