When Space Science Meets Medicine Symposium

As humanity prepares for exploration beyond low Eatrh orbit, clear parallels emerge with the challenges of an ageing society: sustaining physical and cognitive function, and delivering health support in remote, resource-limited settings. This interfaculty symposium brings space science and medicine together to exchange expertise, explore collaborations, and discuss educational pathways that could carry innovations seamlessly from orbit to patients' home—and back again.

Science Roundtable: What’s in a picture? Explanation, enhancement, deception

A scientific article is unimaginable without visual elements. The potential of visualization seems boundless, but what are its drawbacks? How can we make the best use of visual elements in different disciplines without risking deception? Can they depict data precisely enough? Discussion of these and other questions will be kicked off by short expert inputs from different disciplines.
