AbGradCon 2018 at Georgia TechAbGradCon (Astrobiology Graduate Conference) provides a unique setting for astrobiology-inclined graduate students and early-career researchers to come together to share their research, collaborate, and network. AbGradCon 2018 marks the 14th year of this conference, each time in a different place and organized by a different group of students and postdoctoral researchers, but always with the original charter as a guide.
Because it is organized and attended by only graduate students, postdocs, and select undergraduates, AbGradCon is an ideal venue for the next generation of career astrobiologists to form bonds, share ideas, and discuss the issues that will shape the future of the field. Take a look at the AbGradCon 2017 conference website to see what's happened in the past.
