AbGradCon
AbGradCon (the Astrobiology Graduate Conference) is an on-going conference series, open to both graduate students and first-cycle post-docs. The goal of AbGradCon is to foster communication within the broad astrobiology-related graduate student and early post-doc community, and to give early graduate students a chance to practice speaking in a collegial atmosphere. Each conference will be organized by a committee of grad students and post-docs, but input and assistance from the larger graduate community is critical for the continued success of the series.
The last AbGradCon was held on July 14 & 15 2007 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in conjunction with the Bioastronomy 2007 meeting being held there from July 16th – 20th.
The next AbGradCon will on April 13–14 2008, in Santa Clara, CA, USA. This is directly before the Astrobiology Science Conference 2008. Registration for AbGradCon 2008 is open 4 – 18 Febrauary 2008.
