My name is Aara'L Yarber, and I am a sophomore physics major at Howard University. I have a strong interest for astrophysics, and I conducted research last summer with Dr. Aaron Evans on Starburst galaxy mergers. In addition to my research, I am working with Dr. Prabhakar Misra on a microgravity project and will be attending NASA's Flight Week in November to test our experiment on a reduced gravity "Vomit Comet." In addition to my love for science, I also travele to neighboring high schools and teaching ninth graders about drug abuse. My ultimate aspiration is to become an astronaut and to serve the youth around the the world.
