Late last week, the Lunar and Planetary Sciences Institute posted a preliminary program for AbSciCon 2010 (the 2010 Astrobiology Science Conference), including links to abstracts. Among the highlights, Dan Werthimer will be giving a talk entitled "When Will Earthlings Find ET?" on Thursday, May 29.

Dan, Eric Korpela and I will all be attending the conference, and we are looking forward to hearing updates on SETI efforts around the world and the latest in research into the possibility of life outside Earth.
