Space the Final Frontier

Karen Krukowski, Ph.D

POSTDOC AT UCSF

Interplanetary exploration will be humankind’s most ambitious expedition and the journey required to do so, is as intimidating as it is intrepid. One major obstacle for successful deep space travel is the possible negative effects of galactic cosmic radiation (GCR) exposure. We investigate the long-term effects GCR can have on behavioral and cognitive performance in a rodent model system.

Does sleep like light?

Virginie Gabel

Postdoc, Stanford University

We all like to sleep, but are we doing it the right way? Are we optimizing it? If you want to learn more about your body rhythm, how the scientist track your sleep and what is influencing your sleep, this is the right place to go! In the talk we will go through the different sleep stages, how the light can impact it and much more!
