SUMMARY:Astrobiology Graduate Conference (AbGradCon) 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Astrobiology Graduate Conference (AbGradCon) is an annual\, student-led conference to highlight and promote the scientific research of early career astrobiologists.  Attendees of this conference are graduate students and post-doctoral researchers which creates a more relaxed atmosphere for scientific discussions and networking. The conference will be held at the University of Arizona this year from September 14-18th. Abstract submissions have already closed for this year.

SUMMARY:LIFE NASA RCN Seminar Series: Cobamide biosynthesis in the last universal common ancestor?
DESCRIPTION:Time: September 15th\, 8 AM PDT/11 AM EDT \nJOIN THE WEBINAR VIA ZOOM \nVal Karavaeva is a PhD student at the Genome Evolution and Ecology Group (GEEG) at the University of Vienna. Their work concerns microbial bioenergetics\, with a focus on evolution of cofactor biosynthesis enzymes\, in particular tetrapyrroles\, such as cobalamin (vitamin B12) and heme. Val is involved in several origins-of-life and astrobiology initiatives\, being a member of NASA LIFE RCN Early-Career Committee\, serving on the executive board of OoLEN (Origin of Life Early-Career Network)\, and collaborating with AbGradE (Astrobiology Graduates in Europe). \nTo learn more about the LIFE: Early Cells to Multicellularity Research Coordination Network and how you can join\, visit the official website.

SUMMARY:SpaceCHI 2026
DESCRIPTION:Space exploration is at the dawn of a new era. Major reductions in launch costs and the rise of the private space industry are rapidly democratizing access to space. Once the exclusive domain of a few large government agencies\, space systems and services are now poised to become increasingly intertwined with everyday life. This transformation is giving rise to entirely new economic sectors and opening the door to novel uncharted research directions. \nHuman-Computer Interaction (HCI) has historically played a vital role in helping to scale emerging technologies and maximize their societal benefits – from the laser printer and the personal computer to groupware and AI. HCI’s tools and methodologies\, honed over decades of refinement\, are uniquely positioned to help drive the current space transformation. \nSpaceCHI seeks to catalyze this potential by providing an interdisciplinary platform for researchers and practitioners worldwide. Hosted at NASA Ames\, one of the most revered bastions of space research\, and located in Silicon Valley\, the beating heart of technological innovation\, this year’s edition of the conference promises an unforgettable experience featuring insights from uniquely qualified experts. SpaceCHI 2026 adopts a hybrid format\, welcoming both on-site and remote participants to present and engage. It is our pleasure inviting you to join us in shaping the future of HCI and space exploration!
