NASA-Supported Researcher Shares in Nobel Prize
Jack W. Szostak, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, is among a group of three researchers who have been awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Szostak, who shares this year’s prestigious scientific award with Elizabeth H. Blackburn of the University of California, San Francisco, and Carol W. Greider of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, is also a principal investigator with NASA’s Exobiology and Evolutionary Biology Program and a member of the NASA Astrobiology Institute. The award was announced by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences on...

NASA's Astrobiology Origins
Ten years ago, a new NASA program dedicated to the science of Astrobiology was born. Dan Goldin, former NASA administrator, and Baruch Blumberg, the original director of the NASA Astrobiology Institute (NAI), discuss the history of the NAI and recount how this unique, multi-disciplinary science came to be. The NAI has continued to grow since its creation, expanding its involvement in new types of research. This year, as NAI celebrates an important decade of scientific discovery, the program has awarded ten new grants toSource: [Astrobiology Magazine]
