Call for Initial Input on Decadal Survey on Biological and Physical Sciences in Space

The Decadal Survey on Physical and Biological Science in Space is expected to begin in 2020. Sponsored by NASA, the survey will establish priorities and provide recommendations for research in microgravity and partial gravity for the coming decade. Community input will be critical for this activity, and we encourage you to share your preliminary thoughts regarding key emerging topics in the field (a formal call for nominations and white papers will occur at a later date). Learn more about the study and sign up for updates at http://nas.edu/microgravity.
