Astrobiology And The Search For Life

November 6, 2009 By eastwickpress

On Friday, October 23, the school hosted Dr. Delano, who spoke on the topic of “Astrobiology and the Search for Life.”  He is a Distinguished Teaching Professor in the Department of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences and a member of the NASA Astrobiology Institute Program.
Dr. Delano met with a group of about 50 parents, students and teachers.  He joined the group for dinner and then followed with a lecture on astrobiology.  The weather did not permit the group to view the moon and stars, but they were able to see examples in the form of a power point presentation.
