NASA Astrobiology Institute PR Folks: Asleep Again

Leading Space Experts to Discuss the Search for Life Beyond Earth
“NASA Television will air a panel discussion of leading science and engineering experts on Monday, July 14, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. EDT, who will describe the scientific and technological roadmap that will lead to the discovery of potentially habitable worlds among the stars. The public is invited to attend or view the event, which will take place in the Webb Auditorium at NASA Headquarters, 300 E Street SW in Washington.”
Keith’s note: No mention is made of this highly visible agency-wide astrobiology event at NASA’s Astrobiology Institute website nor on its Twitter account. Once again the crack social media staff at NAI are sound asleep.

Why Is NASA’s Astrobiology Program STILL Ignoring “Cosmos”?, earlier post
Keith’s update: NAI added an article after the fact but it still does not show up on their main page. It is also missing from their “spotlight” on events. So how does one find it? They also tweeted something – but only “10 minutes” before the event. What enthusiasm.
Meanwhile there is very little “astrobiology” being mentioned in this event titled titled “The Search for Life in the Universe”. Its all about Webb Space Telescope. And Webb was not designed to “search for life”.

    As Keith has noted so many times before, it is incredibly frustrating trying to navigate NASA’s website(s). Good luck if you are trying to find a recording of a Live Streaming event. Fortunately, I was eventually able to find a YouTube link for the recorded video of today’s (07/14/2014) event “The Search for Life in the Universe”. Here it is:
