Let's Talk Space Medicine (Kyle D. Anderson, PhD)

During this episode I worked with my space-nerd-friends aurora, avinash, and ben from the nexus aurora discord community to try and answer the question, can the oral contraception pill serve a multifunctional role in both inducing amenorrhea while preserving bone health in female astronauts?

During this orbit we gained a new space-nerd-friend Vienna (@Vistronaut), an Australian medical student, to help us answer the question of whether muscle or bone presents a more pressing challenge for human spaceflight! Astronauts lose significant muscle bulk and bone mass during stays in microgravity but which is more important in terms of astronaut health and can a new device to help us jump in space be a novel solution (@Perform_Science)?

Welcome to let's talk space medicine, i'm Kyle Anderson your medical-student slash space-nerd host. For your listening entertainment I gather my other medically inclined space-nerd friends to just chill and talk to each other sometimes!  Its been 6 months since I started the podcast, so I decided it was time to check in with my co-hosts and see how we are doing, and where we want to go!

During Orbit 12 I chat with Dr. Michael Pohlen, MD about Space Radiology!

During this episode, I was joined by my space-nerd friends Ryan and Vlad to discuss everything under the sun about the stuff that comes from the sun, radiation! Radiation presents perhaps the most significant risk to astronauts trying to live in space as well on the Moon and Mars. So what types of radiation will be encountered, what are some of the medical consequences, and what role could precision medicine play?
