SUMMARY:2026 NASA LIFE RCN Seminar: Dr. Emil Ruff and Dr. Carolina Fernandes Moreira de Carvalho
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 2026 NASA LIFE RCN Seminar Series! \nTime: October 13th\, 8AM PT / 11AM ET / 5PM CET! \nThis month’s speakers are Dr. Emil Ruff and Dr. Carolina Fernandes Moreira de Carvalho! \nHere is the Zoom link: https://lnkd.in/gq473pDB \nDr. Emil Ruff is a microbial ecologist at the University of Bremen\, Germany and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole\, MA\, focusing on microbial metabolisms and interactions that impact the carbon\, sulfur\, and oxygen cycle in aquatic ecosystems. His group is particularly interested in interactions between microbes that lead to novel community functions\, often enabling these microbes to conquer new habitats. His team mainly studies ecosystems with reduced complexity\, such as natural or laboratory enrichment cultures\, microbial blooms\, or extreme habitats. \nTitle of the talk: “Dark oxygen production: Progress with an unknown process”. \nDr. Carolina Fernandes Moreira de Carvalho is a postdoctoral researcher at ETH Zürich investigating dark oxygen production (DOP) and associated oxygen isotope fractionation in both environmental and laboratory systems. She specializes in experimental design\, gas handling\, and high-precision isotope-ratio mass spectrometry to quantify O isotope fractionation during O₂ production and consumption processes. \nTitle of the talk: Towards resolving O₂ isotope effects of DOP processes: catalase and chlorite dismutase.

SUMMARY:2026 NASA Cosmic Origins Early-Career Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Registration & Abstract Submission \nNASA’s Cosmic Origins Program is excited to invite you to the second Early Career Workshop\, designed to support and empower the next generation of astrophysics leaders and PIs. \nThe workshop aims to provide insights to early career scientists about the wide range of work done in the Cosmic Origins Program\, to explain and demonstrate the tools and opportunities available to them\, and to answer any questions they may have. \nThis workshop will take place virtually on October 20th-22nd from 1-4:30 pm Eastern. The three days will be focused on Science (Day 1)\, Missions (Day 2) and Careers (Day 3). \nDay 1: Participants will receive an overview of the science themes covered by Cosmic Origins and give early career scientists opportunities to share their research. \nDay 2: We will highlight the many NASA archives\, data analysis tools\, and upcoming proposal opportunities so that participants can see a clear path for themselves to get involved with NASA missions. \nDay 3: Participants will engage with speakers who have taken a variety of career paths that have led them to NASA science and mission work. \nThe abstract submission deadline is October 10th\, 2026 and acceptance notifications will be sent out mid-October. \nFollow the link here to attend. Note: meeting links are listed at the top of each day in the agenda: Additionally\, if you are not a current participant in the NASA Cosmic Pathfinders Program  you can follow the link here to join: https://discord.gg/DsDq5UX8TJ \nOn behalf of the Workshop Science Organizing Committee\, \nRon Gamble\nSwara Ravindranath\nPeter Kurczynski\nAvrajit Bandyopadhyay

SUMMARY:NASA Space Apps Challenge 2026
DESCRIPTION:The annual NASA Space Apps Challenge provides the opportunity to engage directly with NASA’s data\, along with Space Agency Partner data. During the two-day hackathon\, teams use this data to address challenges written by NASA Subject Matter Experts\, featuring topics including storytelling\, software development\, astrophysics\, space exploration\, agriculture\, and more.

SUMMARY:First Landing Site Workshop: SkyFall Mission To Mars
DESCRIPTION:February 9-10\, 2027\, Virtual \nYou are invited to participate in the First Landing Site Workshop (LSW) for the SkyFall mission to Mars. \nThe virtual workshop will be held February 9-10\, 2027\, and will be the first of two science-focused workshops to identify potential landing sites and adjacent exploration zones of high scientific value that satisfy the engineering constraints imposed by the project and spacecraft design. \nGiven the rapid development cadence of the SkyFall mission\, the LSW process will necessarily be abbreviated compared to those of prior missions\, though the Mars Exploration Program and SkyFall project are committed to using the available time and resources to maximize science value in the selection of landing site. \nPrior to the First Landing Site Workshop\, individuals and self-organized groups are encouraged to identify potential landing sites for preliminary assessment by the SkyFall team. \nInformation on how to submit potential sites may be found in the SkyFall Mission Information Package \nIndividuals/teams that propose a site that satisfies engineering constraints and demonstrates promising science value will be invited to present their site at the First LSW.
