We were honored to welcome Virginia Wotring, a recognized expert in space physiology and pharmacology, for an exceptional seminar dedicated to the importance of studying gravity effects. Accustomed to living under constant terrestrial gravity, we were able to discover, through her research, the unexpected impacts of weightlessness on the human body.
Life in space is a demanding and extreme experience, posing daily challenges in terms of health, physiology and pharmacology. Virginia Wotring demonstrated how solutions developed for the space environment, such as drug management or waste treatment, can also find applications on Earth and improve our daily lives.
During her speech, Virginia also presented the educational programs of the International Space University (ISU), offering students and professionals the opportunity to deepen their knowledge in this exciting field.
The seminar highlighted the unique challenges of space research and the opportunities it offers to improve life on Earth. We warmly thank Virginia Wotring for her expertise and inspiring sharing of knowledge.
