Reasons to be an Astrobiologist

By catdynamics on April 17, 2008.

The Astrobiology Science Conference sponsors a student poster competition,
this year the top four posters got cash prizes, thanks to a generous donation.
Fourth prize was $250...

third prize was $750 and second prize was $1250, if I caught the numbers rattled off correctly. There were more and larger prizes than previously announced, thanks to donation.

The first prize, the Frank Drake Prize, was a couple of thousand dollars, and was won by Penn State grad student Tsubasa Otake for his poster "Theoretical Investigation of Equilibrium and Surface Adsorption Effects on Mass-dependent Fractionation in Multiple Sulfur Isotope Systems".

Congratulations Tsubasa!

And thanks to L. Lehrman and the Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution, and of course the NAI.
Hope I got the attribution right...
