    Astrobiology(NASA)

    I meant to post this yesterday, but I forgot!

    If you have an intrest in astrobiology, or experimental biochemistry, NASA is having a special online class series.

    Register here: http://astrobiology.nasa.gov/nai/ool-www/
    For the link. Its free, and you don't need to download anything, registration is simply to prevent abuse.

    The presentations range from complex to student friendly, but all are like the standard speaker series you may have seen at University or college.

    Edit:
    They are going for 8,9, and 10th of Novemeber, 1PM to 5PM EST

    Topics covered so far:
    - RNA structures and alternative backbones for nucleosides based on alternative solvents
    - Amino acid variability in pre-biotic enviroments, and the biotic plausibility.
    - Enzyme -primarily ADH- properties across numerous species, and why(This one was a bit of a trap, and aimed more at creationism arguments)
    -Formation of metallo enzymes in nature, and how they are involved in biosynthesis

    And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
    So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
    And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
Working...
