"the ultrasound was activating the TRPM2 ion channel in neurons of the hypothalamus preoptic area, demonstrating this is an ultrasound-sensitive ion channel that plays a role in sending animals into
ultrasound-induced hypothermia & hypometabolism]"

My favorite #SpaceShuttle fact: on STS-31 (the launch mission for Hubble) and two other DOD-related missions, the Space Shuttle carried Detailed Secondary Objective 469.

What was that cryptic carry-on? A Human Skull.

More elegantly known as the In-flight Radiation Dose Distribution, the skull was wrapped in plastic, cut into ten slices, and covered in dosimeters to measure how much #radiation astronauts get on their noggins.

#NASA is #metal.

Context about the stethoscope comment... just a euphemism for 'evaluation and management 'of an acute medical issue in a capsule like Dragon or Soyuz. Easier to do #spacemedicine evaluation on the ISS (a large volume with a short sleeve environment)

How much do we know about the #lung toxicity of lunar dust? A nice #spacemedicine review in nature #micogravity by Pohlen et al. summarizes our current knowledge. [1] But why be concerned first place? On Earth, inhaled dusts less than <10 µm can penetrate deeply into the lung and reach the alveolus. [2] There they can persist due to poor bioclearance. Some dusts lead to chronic inflammation, possibly via free radical damage, which can lead to interstitial lung disease / pneumoconiosis.

Mission #AstroAccess is testing how to put astronauts with #disability in #space with microgravity test flights! Check out this #GoodMorningAmerica clip to see this amazing project – and also my awesome spouse in the background in a few shots, leading the #spaceMedicine support crew!

Researchers from Houston Methodist Research Institute sent 10
remotely controlled drug delivery implants to ISS on Saturday. Such
devices could improve care to spacefarers & to those in remote
locations on earth. #ISS #SpaceMedicine https:

Two weeks ago, Canadian #astronaut Dave Williams and I released our latest #book: "Why Am I Taller? What Happens to an Astronaut’s Body in Space."

It's a fun romp through #space and #spacemedicine with a literal space doctor (that would be Dave; I'm a space journalist.) I'd love to see our book appear in more #libraries, so do make a request at your local! Or, if you want a copy, do support your local bookstore. :)
