"I've always enjoyed #biology. Knowing what an important role that plays in a #research environment is what first lured me into a #science background. 🔬 I am fortunate to be a part of this unique adventure and am excited to be a part of the muscle-wasting study team. Did you know that the astronauts aboard the #InternationalSpaceStation have to exercise a minimum of 3 hours a day just to minimize bone and muscle loss? 🚀 Imagine how much more effective they could be in completing daily tasks and doing other research aboard #ISS if they didn't have to worry about muscle wasting. Imagine, too, what other possibilities lie ahead for new medicines to stop muscle wasting for people affected by related diseases on Earth. 🌎 This experiment is important for people here and people in the future of #space travel. 🌌 In terms of research and #discovery, this experiment could turn out to be a very important molecule for long-term space flight to the #ISS and other space travel such as Mars." —Ma...
