September 19, 2008 / Posted by: Estelle Dodson

Please join us for the next Forum for Astrobiology Research (FAR) seminar held on Monday, January 12th, 2009 at 11:00am PT (9:00am HT, 12:00pm MT, 1:00pm CT, 2:00pm ET). This seminar is broadcast live by NAI – you can “attend” locally from a videoconferencing room or from your desktop (see instructions below). Please join us to hear presentations on “Habitability” by Jacob Haqq Misra and others.

Abstracts and titles will be posted in January.

Participation Instructions:

To participate using a videoconferencing system such as Polycom….RSVP to Estelle Dodson (Estelle.dodson@nasa.gov) and connect to WebEx as instructed below. If you need videoconferencing help during the live event, you may post a chat to Estelle Dodson in WebEx.

The slides from the seminar can be accessed real-time using WebEx at:

https://nasa.webex.com

Enter the meeting number: 927 292 588. Hit the “join now” button.

Enter your name or site name (this is not an assigned log-in name, please use your institution name or your first and last name), email and the password: FAR*2009 (case sensitive)

If you’ve never joined a WebEx meeting before, please allow an extra 5-10 minutes to install the plug-in.

Without a room based videoconferencing system, there are two ways you can participate from your desktop:

1) you can listen to the seminar on the telephone while viewing the slides in WebEx (see WebEx instructions above). The NASA conference phone number will be displayed when joining the WebEx meeting.

2) you can watch the audio and video of the presentation using Realmedia player at http://vanseg-1.arc.nasa.gov/2008/AB090112-01.ram. You will need to use WebEx to view the slides (see instructions above). There will be a 30-second delay with Realmedia, so you will need to manually advance the slides in WebEx.

Do not use the telephone connection and Realmedia at the same time as the audio will interfere with each other.
