November 5-7, 2026 at the University of Texas Marine Science Institute in Port Aransas, TX.

The Southern Geobiology Symposium (SGS) aims to provide a supportive environment for scientists (especially early-career researchers) to share research and develop professional connections in geobiology and related fields. SGS seeks to address the lack of a regional geobiology/biogeochemistry symposium for states near and along the United States Gulf Coast. SGS 2026 is organized by an interdisciplinary, multi-institution graduate student committee.

Fill out the interest form (https://forms.gle/FtgWWVYUUnwWsgPc9) and follow us on instagram @southerngeobio to stay up to date on symposium updates and events!

Enabling Science with Space Communications and Navigation
Opportunity for User Input at LPSC

NASA’s SCaN (Space Communications and Navigation) Program is the essential connection to our human explorers, our science missions, and our partners. Its networks enable more than 100 missions to explore the unknown, innovate for the benefit of humanity, and inspire the world through discovery.

The network of today must continue to evolve to meet future user needs. As NASA prepares to increase its cadence of missions under the Artemis program to achieve the national objective of returning American astronauts to the moon, it will require new communication and navigation capabilities.

On Wednesday, March 18 from 10-11 am CDT in the Panther Creek conference room, Dr. Ben Ashman, Deputy Program Manager for SCaN’s Mission and Stakeholder Engagement, will host a listening session on how the network can support future science missions and invites you to come share your science priorities for the next decade to inform network architecture development.

People in academia, especially students, are far too busy doing their research to spend time thinking about personal finances or their own retirement, and moving to different countries to carry out that very research does not help.  In this workshop, we aim to provide basic financial education to handle budgets and debt, and investment strategies that can be carried out without financial advisors.  By the end of the workshop you should have enough information to start taking control of your finances,  or least know exactly where to look for information to make your money work for you.  We offer this as a service to the community, not as a strategy to sell any particular plan or service.

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine carried out a NASA-sponsored consensus study on the science astronauts will carry out on Mars. The report was released in Dec 2025. A Science Strategy for the Human Exploration of Mars identified high priority science objectives (in all relevant disciplines) to be addressed by human explorers across multiple science campaigns on the surface of Mars. This includes identifying and prioritizing science objectives from the relevant decadal survey reports and discipline roadmaps and NASA’s Moon to Mars Objectives, determining types of samples to be collected and measurements to be taken, identifying science campaigns to address the objectives, and identifying preliminary criteria for the selection of appropriate landing sites. In this town hall we will present an overview of the study and hear questions and comments from the community.
