Thanks to everyone who joined us for today’s social event! Looking forward to another year of astrobiology at Georgia Tech 🚀

It was wonderful to speak with this group and share the exciting astrobiology programming and work happening at Georgia Tech!

Georgia Tech aerospace engineering student Mirza Samnani volunteered more than 1,000 hours over 10 months to develop early warning systems for avalanches in Tajikistan. The project has the potential to help more than 1 million people. | c.gatech.edu/3uiE2Nq #WeCanDoThat

We are thrilled to feature keynotes from Dr. Amy Williams and Dr. Heather Abbott-Lyon for our 2023 Exploration and Origins Colloquium Accepting abstract submission through noon on January 19th. Late submissions for posters will be accepted through February 8th.

Today is the day! #explorigins23

We had a blast sharing our space demos at the Atlanta Science Festival preview day, and we're looking forward to sharing more during the Exploration Expo in Piedmont Park on March 25! decaturish.com/2023/02/the-th…

Are you/do you know a Black, Latinx, or Indigenous student interested in grad school? The IGEN Bridge Programs are accepting applications through March 15! igenetwork.org/bridge-programs

SSDL & EAS grad students are ready to talk about space here at Atlanta Science Festival in Piedmont Park! Come check our booth out, learn new facts about space and grab some space stickers/keychains!

Today @DrRachel_Moore joined my GTaerospace Technical Communication class via Starlink from Greenland @ Summit Station. This study of ice core gas anomalies could improve climate reconstructions and/or or how ice cores are stored. #SomedayOnMars

New preprint alert! In Translation as a Biosignature, we discuss how ribosomes and agnostic translational machinery may serve as a biosignature and demonstrate how solid-state nanopore instrumentation can detect these molecular features. 🧬🪐 Dr. Christopher E. Carr biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happening Now! Link to Webinar: gatech.zoom.us/s/98324828756

Please join us this upcoming Friday (09/22) for the Fall 2023 Georgia Tech Astrobiology Distinguished Lecture (11 am) and Social Event (4-6 pm)! See the flyers below for more details. ☄️

A Georgia Tech researcher is traveling to some of the most extreme environments on the planet to research microbes. Astrobiologist Rachel Moore spent 50 days on the Greenland ice sheet to collect data that may help us search for life on icy worlds. | c.gatech.edu/3Sz1NhB

From the ‘smell’ of space to the secrets of Mars, ExplOrigins brought the wonders of space science and astrobiology to the hands of the next generation of space enthusiasts at the Atlanta Science Festival! 🪐 #Explore #ATLSciFest #Scicomm Atlanta Science Festival

A growing health threat to crew on space missions: antibiotic resistance. An experiment studying antibiotic resistant microbes is headed to the International Space Station on SpaceX 30. Studying how microbes evolve could lead to advancements that protect humans. go.nasa.gov/3TNAiko

Georgia Tech EAS Prep work by Georgia Tech EAS PhD student Jordan McKaig & Sarah Wallace and many others at NASA enabled this first-of-four expected flights. On-orbit Oxford Nanopore sequencing will advance diagnostic capabilities, enabling whole genome antibiotic resistance and methylation detection.

Congratulations to Catherine Fang and Andra Oltean, two of the latest Yellow Jackets to join the Brooke Brooke Owens Fellows ! This summer, Catherine will intern at Millennium Space Systems and Andra will intern at Rocket Lab. ✨: bit.ly/3Qi3Yn5 | #GTaerospace
