SUMMARY:2026 LIFE NASA RCN Seminar: Sara Imari Walker and L. Felipe Benites
DESCRIPTION:Zoom: Join the 2026 LIFE NASA RCN Seminar Series \nTitle: Quantitative Prebiotic Chemistry and Defining the Abiotic Baseline Reveals why RNA may be unique to Earth \nDr. Sara Imari Walker is an astrobiologist and theoretical physicist whose research focuses on new approaches to the origins of life\, artificial life\, and the detection of alien life on other worlds. She is the author of Life as No One Knows It: The Physics of Life’s Emergence (Riverhead\, 2024)\, which argues for a radical new thinking around what constitutes life. Walker is Deputy Director of the Beyond Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science\, Professor at the School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University (ASU) and External Faculty at the Santa Fe Institute. \nTitle: Deep-time evolution of proteome elemental composition in viruses and cells \nDr. L. Felipe Benites is a postdoctoral researcher at Arizona State University who investigates the fundamental principles that constrain biological diversity across cellular and viral life. His work sits at the intersection of astrobiology\, evolution\, and genomics\, where he explores how life might differ under alternative chemical\, evolutionary and planetary conditions.

SUMMARY:Astrochemistry in Planetary Science - ACS Fall 2026 National Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Overview: Astrochemistry is a diverse discipline spanning virtually all divisions of chemistry and plays a vital role in planetary science. This symposium aims to foster new collaborations by highlighting current efforts to support astronomical discoveries\, planetary missions\, instrument development\, human exploration\, and the search for life beyond Earth. We welcome contributions from all chemistry related planetary science research with special sessions focused on Mars Chemistry\, Lunar Exploration\, Cold Solar System Objects\, Chemistry of Biosignatures\, and Field Work in Analog Environments.

SUMMARY:Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Launch
DESCRIPTION:NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is set to launch no earlier than 7:26 a.m. EDT Sunday\, Aug. 30\, on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Roman Space Telescope is an observatory designed to settle essential questions in the areas of dark energy\, exoplanets\, and infrared astrophysics. Roman will have two instruments: the Wide Field Instrument and the Coronagraph Instrument technology demonstration.

SUMMARY:AbGradE: Astrobiology Icy Moons Missions
DESCRIPTION:AbGradE is back to action and will organise its signature event on August 31st\, 2026 the day before the 26th European Astrobiology Network Association (EANA) conference on September 1-4. Both events will take place in person at the Space Exploration Institute in Neuchâtel\, Switzerland. \nThe topic is “Astrobiology Icy Moons Missions“\, where participants will have an opportunity to design a mission/experimental concept relevant to the icy moons of our Solar System. These ideas will then be developed in writing during the second half of the workshop\, which focuses on strengthening academic writing skills. \nWith the exploration of the Solar System’s icy moons entering an exciting new chapter\, there has never been a better time to get involved. Join us to learn about the opportunities ahead\, engage with experts in the field\, and connect with fellow students and early-career researchers. Before EANA even begins\, let AbGradE introduce you to the community that will accompany you on your scientific journey.
