Astrobiology Roadmapping

Be a part of the future of Astrobiology! It’s time to chart the future directions of astrobiology research and you can participate. During the month of May, NASA will be hosting a series of on-line hangouts and discussions focusing on broad themes in astrobiology: Planetary Conditions for Life, Prebiotic Evolution, Early Evolution of Life and the Biosphere, Evolution of Advanced Life, and Astrobiology for Solar Systems Exploration. The online conversations will then be used as the starting point for an in-person/virtual meeting to draft an outline for the Roadmap.  

To take part in this important conversation and to receive updates, please register at the following website: http://www.astrobiologyfuture.org/. Have your unique voice heard!

Oezge: Why not go ahead and start the Turkish Astrobiologists group? Seems like we can. Wanna take the lead in this?

Sayin Meslektaslarim --

 

Well, I think it does no harm to register a 'footprint' with efforts like this --

and it may even result in something definite....

 

However, I wanted to mention two other -- somewhat related -- topics...

 

1.  The group's membership of the SAG-9 discussion...

 

Dr Soummer mentioned "fortnightly" web-meetings at the last one

-- but that was already 3 weeks ago, I think, and I didn't hear of anything

in the meantime -- although Dr Soummer did write once more about the

gas-giant expected focus of the envisaged next 'probe' mission

(not a full-scale study of planets in the Habitable Zone).

 

Even so --- I thought we could register an interest in the possibility of

surface inhomogeneities on the gas giants (because I think that would

not be such a relatively difficult task -- and a natural follow-up to

the coronagraph-type direct imaging programme that is part of the SAG-9

agenda.

 

I didn't hear anything further myself from Dr Soummer -- did anyone else

in the COMU Astrobiology Group. (Astrobioloji Grubumuz -- COMU-ABG)?

 

2. The Conference at UCL London this September.

 

I received a reply from Dr H Strasdeit about the COMU-ABG's Abstract

for this meeting.

 

It was that we should resbmit it to the meeting AB-5 of the Conference --

which discusses more general or theoretical issues about astrobiology.

The particular contact we had been put on to (by Dr Brucato)

focuses on detailed experiments -- like those of the Sutherland group

 at Manchester University (Department of Biochemistry).

 

But -- assuming that our abstract (for a poster) is accepted --

who could go to London and stand by to present a 2 minute talk about this poster...?

 

Maybe Mehmet-Emin....(?) Since he is a 'frequent flyer' to western Europe, I think...

Possibly he has enough air-points... ?   :-)

 

Best wishes,

Ed
