Fantastic day 2 of NASA’s Human Research Program (HRP) Investigators’ Workshop (IWS)!

Loved the session on neural stressors - so many cool brain organoid projects happening, we’re enabling the future of human health in space! ☺️✨

Is anybody else having this problem where it says “invalid handle” on your profile??

My username @imastroanna.bsky.social still shows up in individual tweets, so I can’t figure out what to fix!

Alright fine I’ll do it myself - here’s a starter pack with a specific focus on space medicine / biology 🧑‍🚀

Albeit small right now (not sure who migrated over from the old place) so let me know if you’d like to be added!

Bought the 2nd book of a sci-fi series because I was halfway through book 1 and loved it….

Only to hate the second half and now dragging my feet at reading book 2 😭
