Date: 
Monday, January 23, 2017 - 09:00 to 12:00

Have you always wondered what Astrobiology is, and what Astrobiologists do? Are you interested in the search for life beyond the Earth? Join us for two weeks as we explore the breadth of topics related to Astrobiology, from the origins of life here on Earth, to the habitability of other bodies in our solar system and beyond. Through this course you will gain an appreciation of the multi-disciplinary nature of planetary science research, and gain a basic understanding of the knowledge and instrumentation that goes into making a planetary exploration mission for life detection.
