Description

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument provided many opportunities for early career scientists to involve themselves with the construction and commissioning on the instrument. Much of my training as a scientist has been through working on DESI construction, commissioning and early analysis of data. Following the development of a project in one's early career is a unique and formative experience. Similar opportunities for early career scientists to involve themselves with developing projects should continue to be cultivated within the community for future projects.
