NASA's Hubble, Einstein and Sagan Fellowship programs have recently merged to form the NASA Hubble Fellowship Program (NHFP), continuing NASA's pursuit of excellence in space science, through support...

Speaker: Catherine Espaillat (Boston University) We know that many pre-main-sequence stars are surrounded by protoplanetary disks, but how these disks evolve into planetary systems is a fundamental...

Speaker: Todd Henry (Georgia State University) The nearest stars and their companions provide the fundamental framework upon which all of stellar astronomy is based, for individual stars, stellar multiples,...

Mary Beth Wilhelm (NASA Ames Research Center) Desert environments on Earth are colonized by organisms adapted to desiccation. However, the limits of adaptation are not well understood.  We surveyed...

Speaker: Sarah Kendrew (European Space Agency/STScI) The astronomical telescope is a relatively recent invention in the ancient science of stargazing. Over the past 400 years, generation after generation...

Speaker: Helen Fraser (The Open University) With this seminar I hope to take you on a tour de force from what you think you know about ice in space, to what we have learned through a decade of laboratory...

Speaker: Denija Crnojevic (University of Tampa) The widely accepted Lambda Cold Dark Matter paradigm faces important challenges at the scales of individual galaxies, primarily linked to the implementation...
