Human Habitation and Health in Space
https://tc-ieee.org/events-and-meetings/
The effects of microgravity on the human body will be key factors affecting long-term human habitation in space. This includes human missons to the moon and Mars. Dr. Arnauld Nicogossian will share his expertise and experience in this area acquired through his service as Chief Medical Office for NASA and his extensive collaboration with international researchers.
This is a wonderful opportunity to get an insider's look at the human elements of the US space program and a peek into similar aspects of international programs.
IEEE will be providing CEU-PDH certificates for this webinar.
