AbGradCon 2021 was conducted entirely within Gather Town, a virtual 2D conference space, along with pre-recorded talks on YouTube, and continued discussions and networking via Discord.
Over 100 presentations and flash talks are now available on the NASA Astrobiology YouTube page! Topics include astronomy, biology, chemistry, diversity and inclusion, engineering, geology, instrument design, planetary science, and physics. |
