Sol Speaker Series: “Physiology and Space Exploration”

“Physiology and Space Exploration”

Guest Speaker: Phyllis Friello, Johnson Space Center

Join us on August 15th for “Physiology and Space Exploration” with Phyllis Friello, Johnson Space Center.

Humans have been living and working in space aboard the International Space Station for almost 25 years. Although this orbiting laboratory has provided us with a wealth of information on the effects of the space environment on the human body, there are many remaining questions as we venture beyond low Earth orbit. This presentation will provide an overview of the primary risks of expedition class exploration to human physiology and the work underway to meet these challenges. There will be a Q&A after the talk.

Phyllis Friello is currently the Project manager for the Exploration Medical Integrated Product Team at Johnson Space Center. Prior to her current position, she was the manager of Science and Research at Space Center Houston, overseeing the on-site research and ISS science payloads of the Applied Research Collaborative.
