World Summit on Ancient Microscopic Fossils
March 28, 2008 / Posted by: Shige AbeThe IGPP Center for the Study of Evolution and the Origin of Life (CSEOL) at UCLA will convene the World Summit on Ancient Microscopic Fossils to stimulate and encourage high-quality productive research on ancient, Precambrian, microscopic fossils in preparation for return of Martian samples. The Summit thus supports two fundamental goals of the NAI and the astrobiological community: (1) to better understand the history of early life on Earth; and (2) to prepare effectively for the study of samples to be returned from Mars.
