It's exciting to know that more news keeps getting posted even after months later from the Astrobiology Science Conference held here in Mesa in April 24-28 2017.
How thrilling is that when what happened here gets out ??
Sessions were live streamed, and the recordings of AbSciCon 2017 are now available on the NASA Astrobiology YouTube channel.
AbSciCon 2017 is part of a series of conferences organized by the astrobiology community.
The theme for AbSciCon 2017 is “Diverse Life and its Detection on Different Worlds.”
Mars and icy worlds in our solar system are increasingly recognized as habitable, even as increasing numbers of exoplanets in their stars’ habitable zones have been discovered. The focus is shifting from identification of habitable worlds, to detection of life on them.
Among other topics, the conference presented the following, with the question remaining is there life out there? . . . and maybe we are not alone in the universe
Setting the Stage for Geochemistry
Setting the Stage for Biochemistry
Biomarkers of Life in Anaerobic Ecosystems and Different Evolutionary Stages
Biomarkers of Anaerobic Ecosystems
Biogeochemical Cycles on Water Worlds Near and Far
