Origin and Evolution of the UCLA AstroBiology Society
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 September 2017
Abstract
Co-sponsored by the NASA Astrobiology Institute (NAI) at UCLA, and the Center for the Study of Evolution and the Origin of Life (CSEOL), the UCLA AstroBiology Society (ABS) was founded in 1999 to become the first student-run organization devoted to astrobiology. An interdisciplinary group, ABS unifies undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty of all fields through events and discussions centered around the diversity of themes that compose astrobiology science. ABS provides particular benefit to NAI's Education and Public Outreach efforts as a means of increasing awareness of and appreciation for astrobiology, particularly in the college community. A greater goal of the organization involves networking to seed AstroBiology Societies on other college campuses nation-wide. Additionally, ABS is currently doing research for NAI's Astrobiology Pathfinder program, which will help students at all stages to become Astrobiologists.
