Life in Space for Life on Earth conference, Angers, France
22 June 2008 - 22 June 2008
France
A conference entitled 'Life in space for life on Earth' will take place from 22 to 27 June in Angers, France.
The morning will consist of half-day plenary symposia on the following topics:
- current concepts in gravitational physiology;
- effects of gravity on biological rhythms and sleep;
- effects of gravity on metabolism;
- aspects of physiology of extra-vehicular activity (EVA).
Meanwhile, the afternoons will be dedicated to parallel open sessions for slide and poster presentations of papers dealing with the following:
- effects of changes in magnitude and direction of the force environment on the physiology and behaviour of humans, animals, plants and cells;
- effects of weightlessness during spaceflight, acute and chronic acceleration, impact, vibration, and various forms of simulated evolutionary consequences of gravity and the role of gravity in the manifestations of scale effects in animals and plants.
The event is organised jointly by the European Space Agency (ESA), the International Society for Gravitational Physiology (ISGP), the American Society for Gravitational and Space Biology (ASGSB), and the European Low Gravity Research Association (ELGRA).For further information, please visit:
