Call for abstracts for AbSciCon 2015 session on compartmentalization in early life
The Astrobiology Science Conference 2015 (AbSciCon 2015) is taking place in Chicago, IL from June 15-19, 2015. I am coorganizing (with Andrew Pohorille) a session on the early evolution of compartmentalization, with particular interest in how it coevolved with metabolism and heritable polymers. Researchers wishing […]
