	NASA Astrobiology Institute (Site not responding. Last check: )
		I have been helping some colleagues introduce some astrobiology material into a non-majors astronomy course that includes a observing lab, and it's a challenge to come up with an astrobiology-related "wet lab" exercise that's logistically feasible in an astronomy department (where most of these courses seem to be taught).
		Astrobiology and the potential for life elsewhere generate widespread interest with the public.
		We have the opportunity to take advantage of this interest by using astrobiology as a hook through which we can educate the public on the meaning of science, the value of basic research and exploration, and the broader roles of science in our society today.

		Astrobiology Workshop (3:00 - 5:30 PM in Tech F235), sponsored by the Physics and Astronomy Department.
		The central goal of Astrobiology is to understand the origins and evolution of life in the universe: how biogenic compounds combine to create life, how life affects - and is affected by - the environment from which it arose, and whether and how life might expand beyond its planet of origin.
		Topics connected to extrasolar planets and astrobiology are likely to become an increasing part of many people's research over the next few years.

	SPACE.com -- COMMENTARY: Astrobiology Budget in Peril
		Although many of us consider astrobiology to be the primary science of the President's Vision for Space Exploration, this is not reflected in the budget proposal.
		We are not suggesting any specific wording, since you know best what astrobiology means to you, whether as a recipient of NASA funds, as an educator, as someone who hopes for a career in astrobiology, or just someone interested in astrobiology science.
		The innovations that have come out of cross-disciplinary astrobiology research, innovations that would never have been birthed within traditional academic compartments, should attract the attention of the Congressional members and their staff.

	Discover the Wisdom of Mankind on Astrobiology (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Astrobiology is an interdisciplinary field, combining aspects of astronomy, biology and geology, which considers the question of whether extraterrestrial life exists and if so, then what are its origin, distribution, and evolution.
		Although astrobiology is an emerging field, the presence of life in the rest of the universe is a verifiable hypothesis and thus a valid line of scientific enquiry; Astrobiology assumes the validity of core scientific precepts such as evolution.
		Astrobiology is at present a largely speculative extrapolation of Earth conditions into off-Earth environments.
