Remember the Clue (45) – Danger

Risk makes us feel alive.

On Location in Santa Clara

Last day of AbSciCon tomorrow. The conference has been useful and thought provoking, though I have almost reached my saturation level for absorbing new information from fifteen minute talks. I present my talk on the climate of the Archean Earth (2.8 billion years ago) tomorrow morning. I also didn’t realize this until I arrived here, but apparently I have my name on four abstracts at the conference!

A Revised, Hazy Methane Greenhouse for the Archean Earth, J. Haqq-Misra, S. Domagal-Goldman, P. Kasting, J. Kasting

Synthesizing Archean Models and Data: A Self-Consistent Evolutionary History, S. Domagal-Goldman, J. Kasting, J. Haqq-Misra

Sustainability and the Fermi Paradox, J. Haqq-Misra

TPF-SETI, S. Domagal-Goldman, J. Haqq-Misra

Compared to the other conferences I’ve attended, it’s quite rewarding to feel like I’ve contributed something to the astrobiology community. More on the conference when I get back this weekend!

You Ought to be Havin’ Fun

…sez Tower of Power!

Seth came to visit last week, Frank Warren gave a talk on Monday, I trekked down to Harrisburg last night for the Average White Band & ToP show, and I’ve stayed busy this week preparing for the Astrobiology Science Conference in Santa Clara next week. I’ve been away from blogging, but I’m having fun!
