2010 Annual Science Report
NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory - Titan
Reporting | SEP 2009 – AUG 2010
EPO Activity: Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution Outreach to Multidisciplinary Public Audiences
Project Progress
Various components of the astrobiology program at the FfAME have received press attention, especially our “synthetic biology” program (which is directly related to Titan exploration) and our “paleogenetics” program. This has led to presentations to public audiences, including evening public lectures, around the world and presentations in conferences for specialized audiences.
