  What effects does space flight have on the body? How do plants grow in 
space?  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 
researchers, considerable time will be spent engaged in hands-on 
activities which use low cost and easily available materials.  
Participants will also be introduced to available NASA educational 
resources.  Dormitory housing and food will be provided for all 
participants during the duration of the workshop.  Documentation for 
purposes of awarding PDPs will be given. 

For more information and an application, contact Diana Jennings, Center 
for Advanced Studies in the Space Life Sciences, Marine Biological 
Laboratory, djennings at mbl.edu, (508) 289-7535.
