Kevin Hand and Katherine Bermingham were asked to join a NASA-Astrobiology panel called NASA-DARES. NASA-DARES (Decadal Astrobiology Research and Exploration Strategy) is NASA’s next roadmap for studying the origins, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe. The in-progress Decadal Astrobiology Research and Exploration Strategy (2026) will build on this and other community efforts to produce a comprehensive, forward-looking framework for NASA's astrobiology missions and research, fully aligned with the findings and recommendations from the monumental efforts that preceded it.
