βThereβre a lot of hazards we donβt know about. In #LEO, we are protected by our #magnetosphere from #SpaceRadiation. If we go outside of that, all of the sudden we have #galactic #CosmicRays β’οΈ we have to deal with, we have a lot of #SolarParticles we have to deal with and we also have variable #gravityβ. Even a short flight beyond #ISS altitude impacts various aspects of human physiology and #microbiome π¦ composition. https://asm.org/Articles/2022/October/Out-of-This-World-Microbes-in-Space

@christiankoestner So you think #spaceradiation isn't a good point ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_ionizing_radiation_in_spaceflight
Hi everyone!
I am an Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Biology at #HopeCollege (#PUI). I study #Behavior and #Neuroimmunology in mice and humans. My research uses #drugs of abuse (i.e. #morphine and #alcohol) and #space radiation to probe how peripheral #immune responses impact #cognition . I #teach and #mentor #undergraduates (#STEM) how to think about #science and challenge them to question HOW they know content. Here are some other topics/tags that I am fond of: #drugsofabuse #spaceradiation #learningandmemory #adultneurogenesis #microglia #macrophage #mentalhealth
