Another incredible talk by OoLEN member @silkeasche.bsky.social at #BEACON25 in Iceland 🚀🇮🇸

Awesome talk by @klauspaschek.bsky.social at the #BEACON conference in Reykjavik ! 🚀 #OriginOfLife #Astrobiology

Thank you to everyone for coming! A special thanks to AbGradE and @euroastrobiology.bsky.social for joining forces to make this incredible event here in Iceland 🇮🇸 possible! It was a privilege to collaborate, and we truly owe you for making it all happen! Enjoy the conference excursion tomorrow! 🌋🐑🏔️🌊

#FALCON2025 was wrapped up by a career development workshop, featuring @seanfj.bsky.social and Filipa Sousa, giving us valuable and honest advice on how to progress in one's career to becoming a PI and how to write good proposals, as well as a lively poster session.

The origins of life session during #FALCON2025 featured an amazing keynote talk by our very own @silkeasche.bsky.social, intriguing roundtable discussions about the very definition of life and how to detect it, and, of course, many exciting contributed talks! Thanks to all the speakers! 👏

On the first full day of #FALCON2025, we enjoyed an amazing lineup of astrobiology talks, a lovely tour of the botanical gardens, and a great conference dinner. We hope that many new connections will be made between the astrobiology and origins of life communities here in Iceland!

#FALCON2025 is in full swing, uniting Astrobiology and the Origins of Life sciences in a fun, relaxed gathering surrounded by 🇮🇸 Iceland's picturesque volcanic early Earth analogue landscape. 🌋🧬🦠
Let's go!
