Hahah taking one for the team sometimes means a postpartum parabolic flight campaign 😅 Ranked really high on my list of “places I never expected to pump and experience letdown” (and if you’re wondering, yes: aside from the samples that we sent to our lab, I do have a freezer bag of “microgravity milk” stored away for Baby Max 😅🍼✨)

It’s been awhile since I shared an overview about how we use parabolic flight campaigns here on Earth to conduct research in microgravity, test & validate experiment design, and train for spaceflight as a crew, so I’ll dig up some of my old overviews to share in case anyone is interested! 

(Also this obviously goes without saying but just to be clear: there was ZERO pressure on me postpartum from anyone, the study was my idea and something I was passionate about, and begmathyk spacenorah and shawnapandya are nothing but endlessly supportive colleagues and teammates)
