Space life science with an Oriental twist

I have been very busy indeed over the last week attending the 64th International Astronautical Congress in Beijing, China. Certainly one of the larger congresses anyone could go to, it encompassed several different areas of space science, such as astrophysics, space law, space biology, space physiology, materials and so much more! Definitely something for everyone here and all held under the one very large roof of the Chinese Convention Centre, based in the Olympic Green area with a good view of the Bird`s Nest stadium that hosted the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

The main focus of the space life science meetings was the transfer of knowledge from space to earth, concentrating on the positive impact that space life science research has had on public health, innovation in terrestrial medicine, and the new biotechnological products that now benefit mankind. Naturally enough, being in China, some interesting aspects of the local culture were thrown in to flavour proceedings, for example Chinese medicine and its insertion into space life science research. One of the more interesting sessions for me involved the concept of multidisciplinarity within space life science research. With this being one of the main goals of the MicroG Centre and the way we conduct much of our research, it certainly left me with the impression that we are headed in the right direction!
