Reminder: ASGSR Decadal Survey MicroLabs Begin This Week
The ASGSR-led writing MicroLabs will be happening in the next two weeks, and there is still time to sign up and participate.
This is your once-in-a-decade opportunity to provide direct input on the direction of the research that NASA will be conducting as it reaches out to explore the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
As many of you know, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) will be developing the next Decadal Survey on Life and Physical Sciences Research in space 2023-2032, which will serve as a critical framework to shape the upcoming vision and strategy plan for NASA’s research efforts in the area of biological and physical sciences in space.
Many of you participated in the Town Hall series that ASGSR held last fall, which generated numerous important questions for the next decade of biological and physical sciences research. Now, through a series of MicroLabs (intensive writing workshops), those ideas need to be turned into concept papers that will be submitted to the Decadal Survey. A full list of generated ideas can be seen at https://go.issnationallab.
There will be four topical MicroLabs held in May 2021 that will work on one biological and one physical science research area.
