While most Virginians will never escape the confines of Earth’s gravitational pull, research being conducted in the Commonwealth and in outer space is currently informing the health ramifications of space travel as crewed missions return to the Moon and prepare for humankind’s first steps on Mars. Join Henry Donahue, Ph.D., the Alice T. and William H. Goodwin Jr. Endowed Professor and Chair, Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Virginia Commonwealth University College of Engineering, for a fascinating lecture about recent advancements in the science of space travel, and the experiments he created to study the impacts of space radiation and microgravity on bone and muscle on board the International Space Station.
This lecture is presented by the Virginia Museum of History & Culture and the MCV Foundation, and is made possible by a generous grant from the Virginia Sargeant Reynolds Foundation.
