In this episode, join Dr. Shawna Pandya, a physician, citizen-scientist astronaut candidate with Project PoSSUM, martial artist, advanced diver, skydiver, pilot-in-training, and Director of Medical Research at Orbital Assembly Construction, as she delves into her multi-faceted career, her passion for space medicine, and her vision for the future of space exploration.
Key topics:
🔹 The significance of space medicine and its role in long-term space missions
🔹 The intersection of extreme environment medicine and space medicine
🔹 The importance of holistic physical and mental preparation for space travel
🔹 The future of space exploration and its implications for healthcare
3 memorable moments to share:
➡️ We need to think about not just the medicine but also the psychology, the human factors, the human dynamics of long duration space flight.
➡️ The most rewarding part of training for space is the journey itself, the resilience, the grit, the determination that it instills in you.
➡️ It's about archiving that mission success, whether that's a successful CPR in a critical care situation on Earth or whether that's landing on Mars.
