SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:The European Space Agency is recruiting its next generation of astronauts in 2021. Till date only 11% of astronauts worldwide have been women. Yet\, to build a sustainable human presence in space\, there is a need for more diversity in crews. ESA is highly encouraging women to apply to the upcoming selection\, and at ‘Our Giant Leap’ we aim to encourage and support them in this process. \nThrough this series of webinars organised by the SGAC Our Giant Leap team\, we will explain the current status of diversity in astronaut crews\, and why an increase is needed. We will also support your application by sharing tips and insights from our experts. Finally\, we want you to meet with applicants to the selection to learn more about their path in the process\, and hopefully convince you that you might also have what it takes to be an astronaut ! \nThis webinar will focus on the selection process. It aims to give you an insight into how the selection works with talks from experts involved in previous and similar selections and we will also hear about the daily life of an astronaut on the ground. \n  \nYou can already participate in the event before it begins! Use #AskOGL to ask your questions about the webinar and to the speakers. \nThis event is the second episode of a series about the ESA astronaut selection.

SUMMARY:What Space can do for WI 2
DESCRIPTION:What Space can do for WI\n(The “WI” in the title is a play on the word “we”. WI stands for West Indies\, which is another name the collection Caribbean of islands with similar history/culture is called. The phrasing of the title also represents common Caribbean dialect so instead of saying “What space can do for us”\, some Caribbean natives might say “What Space can do for we”). \nThis webinar will be the first in a series and an introductory session discussing the potential benefits and feasibility of space technology to the Caribbean. \nThe session on 27th March will focus on how space technology can play an integral role in the Caribbean achieving \nSustainable development goal 13: Climate Action. \n  \n  \nREGISTER HERE  \nConfirmed Speakers\nRacquel Davis is a Meteorologist by profession with a few years of experience in the operational office. She has a strong love for forecasting and warning against adverse weather conditions. Her love for the weather grew in secondary school from geography classes where she later went on to gain an associate degree in Environmental science.

SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:The European Space Agency is recruiting its next generation of astronauts in 2021. Till date only 11% of astronauts worldwide have been women. Yet\, to build a sustainable human presence in space\, there is a need for more diversity in crews. ESA is highly encouraging women to apply to the upcoming selection\, and at ‘Our Giant Leap’ we aim to encourage and support them in this process. \nThrough this series of webinars organised by the SGAC Our Giant Leap team\, we will explain the current status of diversity in astronaut crews\, and why an increase is needed. We will also support your application by sharing tips and insights from our experts. Finally\, we want you to meet with applicants to the selection to learn more about their path in the process\, and hopefully convince you that you might also have what it takes to be an astronaut ! \nThe team is therefore proud to present the first episode of its webinar series. With the help of our experts\, we will address the general lack of women in STEM and how that impacts the space sector. We will also discuss the current challenges for women in the area of human spaceflight\, and the overall benefits for everyone of having more diverse crews. Ultimately\, our goal is for you to know what to say next time someone asks you: Why do we need more women astronauts?  \n  \nYou can already participate in the event before it begins! Use #AskOGL to ask your questions about the webinar and to the speakers. \nThis event is the first episode of a series about the ESA astronaut selection. This webinar will be recorded. \n  \n  \nREGISTER HERE  \nConfirmed Speakers \nDr. Michaela Musilova is an astrobiologist and the Director of the HI-SEAS analog space station. Michaela studied and conducted research at the California Institute of Technology\, University College London\, University of Bristol\, Chiba University\, International Space University (ISU) and others. \nShe worked for NASA\, University of London Observatory\, Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope and was the Commander of over 20 simulated missions to the Moon and Mars. In fact\, to her knowledge\, Michaela has led the largest amount of mixed and all female analog space mission crews.\nShe is also a visiting Professor at the Slovak University of Technology\, Vice-Chair of SOSA\, Adjunct Faculty at ISU and the Head of Research of the space technology company NEEDRONIX.  \nMichaela has received numerous prizes and research grants\, including the Emerging Space Leaders Grant from the International Astronautical Federation\, Women in Aerospace – Europe Young Professional Award\, and she was selected as one of the most promising 30 under 30 by Forbes Slovakia.   \nShe is also actively involved in the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award program\, as a patron of Slovakia’s program and the global program’s Emerging Leader Representative. Furthermore\, Michaela regularly teaches\, gives lectures and keynote presentations\, works with international media and is STEM Punks educational program’s Advisory Board Member. She also writes articles for Space.com and co-authored her biography\, A Woman from Mars. \nVirginia Wotring has been using her training in biochemistry (BS\, Florida State University)\, physiology & pharmacology (PhD\, Saint Louis University\, USA) to study the actions of medications used during spaceflight missions. This means first studying the effects of the spaceflight environment on physiology and then turning to potential spaceflight-induced changes in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. \nVirginia has been doing this during positions at Johnson Space Center and Baylor College of Medicine in Houston TX\, and now at the International Space University in Strasbourg\, France.  \nShe had held management positions in the past\, most recently as Deputy Director and Chief Scientist of the NASA-funded Translational Research Institute for Space Health\, however she prefers doing science to managing it.  \nHer current research ranges from the study of women’s health during spaceflight missions to examination of biochemical responses to Earth analogs of space in simple model organisms.

SUMMARY:[PG-SMLS] - Health in Space series: The Space Within
DESCRIPTION:Welcome back to the Health in Space series! In this sixth episode we will turn our attention to ‘the space within’: the human mind. This year\, we celebrate that humans have lived and worked in the extreme environment of space for 20 years straight. For our series on health in space\, it is time to look at the effects of this challenging endeavour on the mental health of astronauts and other professionals working in such harsh or isolated places. \nOver the next decades\, space missions returning to the Moon or even going further to Mars will take longer than a typical stay at the International Space Station. That will probably affect aspects of the human psyche of the astronauts on the go. But what mental effects will be of importance\, when we will travel further away from Earth? \nWe have invited Dr. Iya Whitely and dr. Nathan Smith to join us on a tour through this exciting specialism in space health. What should we learn from the human mind before putting it under the stress of long duration space missions? What do we know from extreme environments on Earth and their habitants mental health? How do we work towards successful and healthy human space flight missions in the future? \n\nDr Iya Whiteley is a Space Psychologist (ESA\, UKSA and IBMP) and the Director of the Centre for Space Medicine\, Mullard Space Science Laboratory\, University College London. She has 25 years of experience in space psychology\, human performance and cognitive system engineering. Besides her background in clinical psychology\, she has expertise in: crew selection & astronaut training\, interface & cockpit design; human-robot interaction and humanoid robot design. Also\, she is a pilot\, skydiver\, PADI Rescue Scuba Diver\, and acupuncturist. Her book “TOOLKIT FOR A SPACE PSYCHOLOGIST”\, was written to support astronauts in exploration missions to the Moon and Mars. Iya was expert and presenter for 6 episodes on the BBC Science show Astronauts: Do You Have What It Takes?\n\n\nDr. Nathan Smith obtained a PhD from the University of Birmingham in Sport and Exercise Psychology\, after which he further specialized in extreme medicine. He developed training and education on psychology in extreme environments. Furthermore\, Nathan has been a research fellow at the University of Manchester studying how humans survive and thrive in extreme environments\, working together closely with ESA and NASA.\n\nOur stellar panel will discuss astronaut psychological health for current and next generation space missions and at the end of the session we will open up the floor for questions. This session will be moderated by your host Jules Lancee\, health innovator on Earth.
