Last November, I launched a new conference to continue the success of the Space Omics and Medical Atlas (SOMA), the project started by @mason_lab and myself that was published in Nature last summer. This one-day summit brings together astronauts who participated in SOMA, the…
TIL There's a Google Scholar page with all the NASA OSDR/GeneLab publications!
Cheers and thanks Dragos! Getting close to 150 studies enabled by OSDR/Genelab. Peer-reviewed pubs, pre-prints, and student theses. 19 of 34 papers to leverage AI/ML for the field of space biomedical health/life sciences use data from OSDR 🎉🚀 scholar.google.com/citations?hl=e…
Just published in @Nature_NPJ , @bioastra and @NASAGeneLab uncover key challenges of eating plants grown on LEO —and solutions—for astronaut health nature.com/articles/s4152… Fantastic collaboration between brilliant people @mason_lab @EliahOverbey @Dr_Dick_Barker @RyanTScott
Big news from BioAstra Crew-2! Our fellows new paper in npj Microgravity explores how nutrient deficits in space-grown crops—esp. calcium—could impact astronaut health. From “leaky gut” to gene expression, it's a deep dive into nutrition in space doi.org/10.1038/s41526……
Wouldn't have happened without your amazing leadership of @bioastra's Crew-2 fellowship, @EliahOverbey!
An honor to collaborate on this research between plant biology, nutrition, gut, and human health for 🚀🎉 The type of research which can only occur across disciplines. Kudos to the @bioastra team and all @NASAGeneLab Analysis Working Group members 💯
Any countermeasure developed to address the issue of leaky gut needs to address multiple factors simultaneously. The first would be the restoration of the intestinal barrier through support/stabilization of the mucous layer, protecting epithelial cell-cell junctions, or both. The…
I had the privilege of teaching an exceptional group of high school students earlier this summer at the @uaustinorg Summer Honors Program. Thank you @mason_lab for writing The Next 500 Years! It provided an excellent framework for discussing space colonization and genetic…
I had an absolute blast at @uaustinorg The students are bright and engaging and the faculty are definitely impressive. I hope to be back again soon! Feel free to give me tenure, y'all.
This was a lot of fun! Thanks for coming to UATX @ModdedQuad 🤖

Is the future transhuman? The world's first @neuralink recipient, @ModdedQuad, and Bioastronautics Prof. @EliahOverbey on controlling computers with your mind.
Imagine being part of year 1 @uaustinorg. Just incredible access to some of the impressive people in the world. U of Austin has already demonstrated that it can be a better experience than Harvard, Columbia, Stanford. The Ivy Schools won't remain in their Ivy Tower forever.
Year One at @uaustinorg.
There’s a lot of excitement for @seraspaceage’s upcoming mission! I’m looking forward to taking the students to see the launch in West Texas.
.@uaustinorg freshman: "We just got a 3D printer and so we're going to be partnering with SERA... and 3D printing test tubes that are designed for space flight." @WillCainShow_ @willcain
“One of the important things to keep in mind is, from the student perspective, if you’re admitted into UATX, there is no doubt in your mind that you were admitted based on your merit. You’re not here because you’re a woman or because you’re a certain racial minority that we’re…
.@uaustinorg faculty on our merit-first admissions policy:
The NIH is broken. Much of $50 billion a year funds bureaucracy, political nonsense, and academic welfare instead of breakthrough science. America needs to slash the red tape, fund bold ideas, and stop rewarding mediocrity if we want to lead the next golden age of science. 🧵
Fun times tonight hanging with @EliahOverbey! Awesome to meet @ModdedQuad and hear about his experiences as the first @neuralink recipient. Second panel with @JTLonsdale, @jason, and @RubinReport was excellent as well! Keep an eye on @uaustinorg — lots of exciting stuff…
This was really fun! Thanks for coming @ModdedQuad!
What a double header at @uaustinorg First up @ModdedQuad the 1st person with a Neuralink in a conversation with @EliahOverbey about BCIs, space, AI, & more. Then @JTLonsdale, @RubinReport, & @jason in the next @austin_union debate about politics, media, & entrepreneurship.
