Bioastronautics Speaker Seminar Series

The Bioastronautics Speaker Seminar Series has been established to offer seminars on cutting edge science and technology from noted speakers in the national life sciences community.

Click here for past bioastronautics speaker presentations.

Additional presentations will be announced as they are scheduled.

LPI/DSLS Speaker's Bureau

Scientists from USRA's Division of Space Life Sciences and the Lunar and Planetary Institute have recently formed a Speaker's Bureau to offer presentations to schools, civic groups, and other similar organizations. The aim of the Speaker's Bureau is to introduce the public to the wonders of science. The speakers' research covers a wide variety of topics, and in many cases, they are able to tailor their topic to the specific needs of their audience.
