So fitting that my first first-author paper was published today on the moon landing anniversary!🚀 From my time with @NASA_Johnson @NASAInterns: Reviewing interactions btwn radiation and microgravity on immune health using spaceflight-analog models👩‍🚀 immunityageing.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

What would YOU wish for the future of medicine? 🎄 We called on @harvardmed students to reflect on the past 25 years of medical progress, and to dream what the next 25 might look like--read their answers at the link in our bio! Foreword by Dr. Jeremy Faust @medpagetoday

Calling all ASGSR student members: YOU could be part of the next ASGSR student board working to make student events and outreach for our community! Election nominations close TOMORROW! Form: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Logged onto this platform for the first time in months to see someone posted one of my Tiktok videos (lol) talking about the cuts to scientific funding, our MD-PhD program, etc. Who can guess what the comments were about? 😕 Hint: they were NOT happy I'm a WOC @ Harvard Med...

@Suzierizzo1 My first time logging onto this website in a while, thank you for amplifying my video!! The ongoing cuts to scientific funding are a travesty and will harm so so many communities 😭😥

Medical Students at Harvard just found out all their MD-PHD funding has been cut! These are students that will likely save our lives in the future! 😡😡

Excited to be working with @framonauts to acquire the first x-rays of a human in space next week during the Fram2 mission! More details here: f2.com and spacexray.org

Join me on Orbit 13 as I meet MD-PhD student extraordinaire @ImAstroAnna and discuss her journey in the field of space medicine! youtu.be/C-Yz4zeevKI

Space scientists have put together an open group letter (sites.google.com/view/space-sci…): "To NASA leadership and our elected representatives: We write as members of the space science community who are dismayed by the impact of recent events on taxpayer-funded, NASA-supported science, missions, and communities. Many of us chose this profession motivated by a desire to push the boundaries of what is possible and widen our understanding of the universe, and to do so in the public interest. Space science research has inspired generations of scientists and engineers, while pushing U.S. innovation forward. ... Recent events and actions directly damage our ability to do the work we value. We wish to call attention to several occurrences that have unfolded over the past weeks. ... We also recognize that even in times of upheaval, all of us have the power to stand up for our values, for each other, and for the work we believe in. We hope you will join us in advocating for broadening access to publicly funded science, empowering NASA-funded projects to recruit strong, diverse teams, and building a future in which scientific progress truly benefits all of us. The American people deserve nothing less." #NASA #NOAA #NSF #AdAstra

This morning, @Vast announced the Haven-1 space station qualification article has passed a structure proof test, a critical milestone, before launch. The launch date for Haven-1 has pushed 9 months to May 2026, with its first crewed 2-week mission in June. It’s important to recognize Vast’s speed of development for Haven-1. First announced in May 2023, the company is on a pace to develop the first commercial space station that has never before been seen in human spaceflight.

@shawnapandya My jaw’s on the floor, that’s ridiculous!! Sorry this happened 👎

People will try to diminish your work for reasons I don't understand. I met a physician. 2min in, he said "if you can get to space with ONLY a masters & MD, there's hope for all of us!" Didn't bother to learn about my aquanaut, austere env, 0g, teamwork & research experience. 🤦🏽‍♀️

22 years ago, we tragically lost the Columbia STS-107 crew upon reentering the atmosphere. We will never forget the lives and legacy of Rick Husband, William McCool, Michael Anderson, David Brown, Kalpana Chawla, Laurel Clark, and Ilan Ramon. #NASARemembers

What else did 👁 get up to at the @NASA Investigators Workshop? One of the potential medical 'showstoppers' for an exploration-class mission to Mars is the development of the Spaceflight Associated Neuroocular Syndrome, or SANS...

Always glad to return to Galveston for @NASA HRP Investigators’ Workshop. Excited to see more and more imaging work each year, and congrats to @Kyle_D_Anderson on his award-winning work on LLM assessment for aerospace medicine! #SpaceMedicine #SpaceRadiology

Handing the baton off to Suni for most spacewalking time for a female. Records are meant to be broken! Congratulations @Astro_Suni!

Day 3 of NASA HRP IWS! #IWS2025 Heard from Dr. Michael Barratt about his recent spaceflight experience on expedition 71+ and then presented on our artificial gravity work (gene expression changes in the bone)! 🚀🦴

What happens to human brain cells when grown in space? #Sciencefiction? No! It’s a real, exciting area of research. Innovative science from the @nationalscf, @scrippsresearch & @nyscf is bringing hope to those suffering with #neurodegenerative diseases: ow.ly/g9Xt50UQcHz

Incredible week! The musculoskeletal system is something we address from time to time in space medicine communities. Among many, it remains one of the key challenges... NASA HRP #IWS2025

TODAY! Coming to you LIVE from #IWS2025 at 11:00am EST @NASA astronaut Mike Barratt shares what it’s like being part of human research experiments in space! Join us right here: youtube.com/live/oXHaNOWbn…
