We will be having a graduate student meeting on Sunday, March 26th as part of this year's AbSciCon. All students and post-docs attending AbSciCon are invited to participate. This meeting will have three parts: a graduate student open discussion on issues surrounding AbGradCon, a panel discussion on the broader implications of the current funding climate for young astrobiologists, and a practice talk session for graduate students slated to give talks at AbSciCon. Refreshments will be provided! If you plan on attending this meeting, please email us at AbGradCon@gmail.com. If you wish to give a practice talk indicate that in your email as practice talk slots will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis. The preliminary schedule for the meeting follows:

We are currently collecting graduate student opinions on AbGradCon and astrobiology funding via this survey. Please participate in the survey and encourage your colleagues to do likewise.
