Suzanne Thornton organizes an event in which three HGP members share meaningful stories of significant events in their lives. Today we hear from Dave Gray, Margie Adams, and Jules Elias.
Presentation by Mitchell Turker. Among the hazards for manned space travel, such as a trip to Mars and back, is exposure to ionizing radiation. Space radiation has three sources: galactic cosmic rays, solar flares, and trapped radiation belts. The presentation will explain space radiation and how it harms human tissues. It will include research data from the speaker and his collaborators.
