Right now there are seven women on Mars... kind of. The women of Hypatia Mars started out as a small group of friends from Catalonia who wanted to work together tp advance space science and women in STEM. Today they're on their second analog mission at the Mars Desert Research Station in Utah, testing systems and equipment, doing multidisciplinary research, and continuously working to reach out to girls and young women about what their careers are like.
Thanks to our guests in this episode:
- Carla Conejo Gonzalez, Co-Founder of Hypatia Mars
- Dr. Ariadna Ferrés, Commander of Hypatia II
- Dr. Estel Blay, Scientist Hypatia II
