Abstract
In this review, I reflect on four decades of my experience in linking
astronomy research and education by supervising variable-star research projects
by undergraduates, and by outstanding senior high school students. I describe
the evolution of my experience, the students I have supervised, the nature of
their projects, the educational contexts of the projects, the need for "best
practices", the journals in which we publish, and the special role of the
American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO). I then describe our
recent research on pulsating red giants and related objects, including three
astrophysical mysteries that we have uncovered. Finally, I suggest how my
projects might be scaled up or extended by others who supervise student
research.
