Packed Lunch: Space

09 February 2011, 13.00 - 13.45

Feed your curiosity at our daytime discussions. Drop in to hear local scientists in conversation about their latest experiments, life in the lab and why science matters to everyone, all in the space of your lunch hour. Bring your sarnies with you to eat while you listen.

Space flight wreaks havoc on the body, but its effects will have to be overcome if we are ever to investigate the far reaches of our solar system. Kevin Fong is co-director of the Centre for Aviation Space and Extreme Environment Medicine at UCL. He has spent time at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston investigating the effects of long-term space flight on the human body. Join him to find out more about the extreme physiology of space travel.

This event is FREE. First come, first seated.
