... Lang, Senior Program Officer, BPA Katie Daud, Research Associate, SSB Dionna Williams, Program Coordinator, SSB COMMITTEE ON BIOLOGICAL AND PHYSICAL SCIENCES IN SPACE The Committee on Biological and Physical Sciences in Space worked with NASA to select the related topics of Open Science and GeneLab Platform development as the focus of a 1-day symposium held on April 1, 2015, as part of the committee's scheduled March 31-April 2, 2015, meeting, held during the third annual NRC Space Science Week. The symposium brought together experts from a range of government, academic, and private database groups to discuss common development challenges.
