Welcome to the Autumn 2024 Astrobiology Colloquium Series! Tuesdays, Location PAA 118 at 3:00pm.
UWAB hosts a biannual colloquium series every spring and fall, featuring speakers from both UW and other institutions presenting on a wide range of astrobiology related topics. Here, you can find the schedule for upcoming colloquia and seminars, as well as an archive of abstracts and live recordings of past events.
If you would like to be notified about upcoming events, you can request to be added to our events mailing list.
We are planning for in-person presentations, meetings, and receptions held on campus. **Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we will simultaneously live stream the presentations via Zoom and (when permitted by the speaker) record and post to our YouTube channel**
