NASA Ames Research Center and the NASA Astrobiology Institute are pleased to announce the second Biennial Astrobiology Science Conference, to be held at NASA's Ames Research Center April 7-11, 2002. Fields covered will range from the origin of the solar system, to evolutionary biology, microbiology, ecosystem science, global change and space missions. For an indication of the breadth of the meeting, the program and abstracts of the first conference may be viewed at http://www.astrobiology.com/asc2000/program.html.
Detailed information regarding registration, abstraction submission, and guidelines for selection of oral and poster presentations will be made on the NASA Astrobiology web site by the middle of October.  There will be a follow-up email at that time.
We are anticipating a large turnout for this meeting, and for this reason would like to get an estimate of the number of people interested.  If you are interested in attending this meeting, please send an email with a "yes" in the Subject space to: Abscicon2@mail.arc.nasa.gov
