I see from the latest issue of Spaceflight that the British Interplanetary Society held a lecture, "Space Medicine: On Earth and Beyond," by Daniela Petrova on May 19.
Advances in space exploration have led to extended capabilities for longer, further-afield and more accessible space flights. With that come new challenges posed to the human physiology and new responsibilities to ensure crew safety. This lecture will focus on how advances in space medicine have addressed these challenges and the underlying changes to the human body in low-Earth orbit and long-distance space missions. Such advances have become increasingly important for extending human endurance beyond our planet as well as on it.
Did anyone on here go and if so were there any new discoveries of interest?
