Event Details

We live in an exciting time! We are on the brink of becoming a multi-celestial species, yet in order to live on other celestial bodies like the moon, Mars, Venus, or in space stations, we need to learn what it would be like to live in space.

“Space biology” refers to the science of how animals (including humans) and plants react to the environment in space. How could gravity and radiation in space change animal and plant biology, behavior and growth, and how would plants grow in the soil on a different planet?

This lecture, presented by Christoph Lahtz, PhD, provides an introduction to the exciting field of space biology.
