2013 STScI Spring Symposium and Habitable Worlds across Time and Space Cancelled, Space Telescope Science Institute
“We regret to announce that the 2013 STScI Spring Symposium, Habitable Worlds across Time and Space, has been cancelled. Space Telescope Science Institute operates as a NASA contractor. Our contractual obligations include support of workshops and seminars. In response to fiscal impacts resulting from the United States Government sequestration, NASA has temporarily suspended the contract authority and all funding that enables us to host conferences and seminars.”

    The bad decisions just keep on flowing!  It’s depressing to think what a small percentage of SLS funding it would take to restore all these crazy cuts to NASA travel and conference participation.

    Big winner: Congressman Paul Broun (R-Ga.) who notes that the big-bang theory and all are “lies straight from the pit of Hell.” 

    While there are other avenues for distribution of the information to be presented at this conference, interaction will be stifled. And it’s well to remember how short the distance can be between sequestration and suppression.
