| University of California, Los Angeles, professor Kevin McKeegan, who specializes in geochemistry and cosmochemistry, will talk about the origin and early history of the solar system. Representative applications include geolocation for nuclear forensics, assessment of microbial mineralization, molecular uptake imaging for cancer therapy, cellular uptake of carcinogens, cosmochemistry analysis, and defect-analysis and repairs for the semiconductor industry. The journal's international editorial board includes 75 noted scientists from 16 countries whose expertise covers the fields of meteoritics, cosmochemistry, gravitational biology, planetary geology and habitability, exobiology, microbial paleobiology, ecogeology, origins of life, bioastronomy, life detection and space exploration technology, microbial ecology, genomics, computational biology, and proteomics, among others. |
