Join Richard Hughson, PhD, from the Schlegel-UW Research Institute for Aging (RIA) to learn how space travel mimics the aging process and what we can learn about cardiovascular health and healthy aging from astronauts. Hughson and his team are studying astronauts aboard the International Space Station, using equipment in space that is operated from the RIA building. What they’re learning about “aging in space” can be used to develop strategies to improve health for older adults here on earth.
