Last week, our lab had the incredible opportunity to host Kathleen Rubins π§¬π
Dr. Rubins is both a NASA astronaut and microbiologist, with over 300 days spent in space, making her one of the top U.S. female astronauts in total time in orbit. She also made history by becoming the first person to sequence DNA in space.
We are grateful for the chance to hear about her unique career path and the intersection of science and space exploration. Thank you for sharing your experiences and inspiring the next generation of scientists.
