w00t!
I'm accepted for the Computational Astrobiology Summer School in Honolulu!! The Hawaii Astrobiology institute has an impressive team, I really look forward to work with them. What is astrobiology? Kind of hard to tell before I attended the summer school but it has something to do with the study of environmental samples from extreme conditions like undersea volcanoes and the evaluation if such a resistant lifeform could live on, say, Enceladus. It looks like I'll have to learn to surf. :-D
