Episode 103 – Space Health: My Interview with Shawna Pandya – is now live!
Hello folks! My apologies for the delays in posting. The past few weeks have been a bit of a ringer over here (which I will address in a future post). Also, while the ringer situation was going on, I decided to share my AADYA Geo Talks interview on Stories from Space, which was the subject of episodes 101 and 102. Since I had already posted about that interview here (complete with the video), I saw no reason to talk about it again. But this most recent episode? That is something I need to rave about!
After months of scheduling, rescheduling, and delays (on my end), I finally got to interview Dr. Shawna Pandya! In addition to being a fellow Canuck and martial artist (Taekwon-Do, same federation as me!), Dr. Pandya is a physician, an emergency medic, an aeromedical transport doctor, pilot, analog astronaut, explorer, and aquanaut with NASA’s NEEMO analog missions. She is also the director of the International Institute for Astronautical Sciences’ (IIAS) Space Medicine Group, and will be (as soon as next year) Canada’s first female commercial astronaut.
During our interview, we discussed the path that brought her to medicine, space exploration, and the future for humans living and working in space. Follow the links below to check it out!
