About this
Web Site, Astrobiology at Parkside:
My
desire is to develop an extensive, content-rich, scientifically rigorous
and up-to-date, web site containing selected astrobiology modules,
relevant to the most current NASA missions and goals. These
modules will be used to enrich various undergraduate chemistry courses I
teach at Parkside. The students will learn about the new and emerging
field of astrobiology, and its links to chemistry. I hope
that my web site will reach UW-Parkside students and interested science
instructors from UW-Parkside, and hopefully other institutions in
Wisconsin and elsewhere.
About the Instructor:
I
have received my training in exobiology (now called astrobiology)
in 1992-1994 at the NASA NSCORT (NASA Specialized Center of
Research and Training) in San Diego where I
worked with Stanley Miller and Leslie Orgel. In 1995
I worked over the summer with Gustaf Arrhenius, also from NASA NSCORT.
Upon my return to UW-Parkside I continued working in the field of
prebiotic chemistry. Inspired
by my NASA NSCORT experience, I see as one of my missions the education
of students and my peers about the field of astrobiology.
