<font face="Arial, Helvetica">What effects does space flight have on the
body? How do plants grow in space? Is there life elsewhere in the universe?
What precautions must we take when going to other planets, and when bringing
samples back to Earth? A hands-on workshop for high school and community
college teachers addressing these and other questions will be held at the
Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. The workshop
will provide participants with content knowledge in several areas of active
research in astrobiology and the space life sciences, including human physiology
in space, agriculture in space, and issues of planetary protection and microbial
contamination of spacecraft. In addition to lectures from life science and
astrobiology researchers, considerable time will be spent engaged in hands-on
activities that use low cost and easily available materials. Participants
will also be introduced to available NASA educational resources. </font><font
