Thanks for a great conference!

The AbGradCon'11 attendees represent a cross-section of the future of astrobiology, and based on what we saw, the future of our field looks amazingly bright! Thanks for being wonderful and inspiring, all of you!

Talks from the conference have been posted here.

The results from our high school and undergraduate poster contest are here.

Aspiring astrobiologists reported to Montana State University in Bozeman, Montanta on June 5-8th 2011 for AbGradCon 2011, the world's leading astrobiology conference for graduate students and early career scientists.

Students and post-docs from a variety of fields participated in this conference which featured oral presentations, poster sessions, public outreach, and a field trip to Yellowstone National Park. Take a look at our flier for more info.
