@shawnapandya You know it’s cold there right? 🤣How on earth will you survive? Will they provide you with heated clothing?

Covid has put a halt on most things aerospace for me the past few months so I was extremely excited to be able to discuss space medicine with Dr. Shawna Pandya for the World Extreme Medicine podcast. Take a listen as we talk about nursing in space!

Space medicine and high altitude aerospace research training requires a multitude of physiological training crucial to understanding the hazards and effects of high altitude, low barometric pressure, and potential hypoxic/decompression scenarios. #hypobaricchambercertification

Part of learning/pushing forward as a nurse in space medicine is understanding what happens to the body in extreme conditions. Experience is the best teacher! -2 to +6 G (just nevermind those faces) #spacemedicine #aerobaticflight #chaseyourdreams #projectpossum

This clear cylinder of water has a story to tell. This experiment has orbited the Earth aboard both a space shuttle and the ISS to determine how liquids behave in space.

But what did it take to get to space?

This can be you. It will be you.

We are working to enable the human-tended research spaceflights of the next crew of scientist astronauts - proving a sustainable market for suborbital research spaceflights in the process.

I’m honored and humbled to be named Penn Medicine LGH Urgent Care nurse of the year! I work with so many amazing co-workers who deserve recognition. I couldn’t do it without my whole team! ❤️ #nursesweek2021 #workfamily

[Starr Schroeder AstroRN @starr_schroeder]

@elonmusk this was a thought provoking and engaging discussion. Would love even 15 minutes of your time or dm to talk about long term space med ops and what nursing can bring to the table. The future of space travel is going to need #nursesinspace

I am beyond honored to have been invited by the CCBN to participate in their first panel discussing breaking/eliminating barriers, creating change, and making space a reality for all, especially the next generation/those in marginalized communities. Link in thread. #spaceforall

[Starr Schroeder AstroRN @starr_schroeder]

Sooooo...I’ve been getting a lot of private messages and tags about the #dearmoonproject. I love it and am flattered that people think of me when they see opportunities like this. I had originally decided to not make an announcement but since everyone’s asking me, (thread)

[Starr Schroeder AstroRN @starr_schroeder]

BUT if you know my passion at its core it is to push the discussion about nursing in STEM, the irreplaceable value that nurses contribute to the backbone of healthcare and the absolute NEED to involve us in long term space travel med-ops planning.
