Finally, it's important to highlight that none of this would have been possible without the leadership of Nikole Lewis, who is the PI of this initial TRAPPIST-1e reconnaissance program.
I was fortunate enough to be a postdoc at Cornell with Nikole, and she is a truly *fantastic* advisor and mentor!

We have follow-up observations of TRAPPIST-1e ongoing (led by Néstor Espinoza and Natalie Allen), which will provide 15 (!) more transits of TRAPPIST-1e.
So if TRAPPIST-1e does indeed have an atmosphere, we will soon have the data to settle the enigma of this world.
