Bioastronomy 2007: Molecules, Microbes and Extraterrestrial Life New  

This meeting will serve to bring together an international interdisciplinary group of researchers to share and discuss the latest findings related to origins of solar systems, space resources and exploration for life, topics highly relevant to the new NASA Exploration vision. As an outcome of this meeting we expect to produce a refereed Conference Volume, and through a teacher education program, forge new education collaborations.

Special Session at the AAS 210th Hawaii Meeting. Hot Earths: Formation, Detection, and Structure New  
The session will focus on Earth-mass planets on orbits close to their parent stars, objects that could be detected by the COROT and Kepler missions and ground-based high precision radial velocity surveys. Topics will include how such planets might form, how physically and chemically diverse they might be, how their properties might be determined, and whether any of them might be able to support recognizable life. The session will consist of invited talks and an associated poster session. For more information contact Nader Haghighipour. (nader "at" ifa.hawaii.edu) or Eric Gaidos (gaidos "at" hawaii.edu).
