| Event Name: | LECTURE - ZERO GRAVITY BY JOHN IVES.. |
| Event Description: | The talk will discuss how weightlessness can be used to perform unique research in the areas of material science, fluid physics, biology and human physiology. The latter topic, research in the area of human physiology, will be expanded, looking at aspects of fluid shift, muscle wasting, loss of bone mass, and orientation-sensing and motion strategies. Countermeasures to these changes will be discussed that are intended to keep the astronauts healthy during long duration exposure to weightlessness (e.g. when travelling to Mars). It will also be discussed how this research enlarges our knowledge for ground-based medical applications. Entrance fee: £2 for members of the BIS, WHS, BRLSI, and Students, others £4. THE TALK WILL START AT 7:30PM. |
