Jupiter.
All during her early education, Tania Ruiz was in a talented and gifted programs in her local public schools.
At age 16, she joined a local astronomy club. During her senior year in high school, Tania did an internship at a local
Maryland planetarium, where she built a decametric radio telescope, which is a special type of telescope that is designed
to listen to emissions from Jupiter.
Tania Ruiz has very special words of advice for those women who are planning a job in astronomy: "In high school, take good notes and save them--you'll use them in college for review. In college, join study groups, so you can do your problem sets with other people. Don't be afraid to ask questions and to talk to your teachers after class." Tania Ruiz graduated from Harvard in 1994.
