Support Space Exploration? Volunteers Needed for 51-Day HERA Study (compensation provided)

Check out HERA at http://www.nasa.gov/hrp/research/analogs/hera
JSC Test Subject Support is recruiting volunteers for a 51-day study to simulate flight operations and confinement. Subjects will spend 30 days in confined habitation in the Human Exploration Research Analog (HERA) facility at JSC. Researchers will collect blood, urine and saliva; study personal behaviors; and evaluate team cohesion, cognition and communication.

This opportunity is for healthy, non-smoking volunteers between the ages of 30 and 55. Volunteers must pass a JSC physical and psychological assessment to qualify. Subjects must take no medications, have no dietary restrictions, have a BMI of 29 or less, be 74 inches or less tall and have no history of sleepwalking. Subjects must have highly technical skills and a master's degree in a science, technology, engineering and math discipline and equivalent years of experience or military experience.

Volunteers will be compensated. (Some restrictions to NASA civil servants and contractors. Contact your Human Resources department for your company's policy.)

Contact Linda Byrd, RN, at 281-483-7284, or Rori Yager, RN, at 281-483-7240.

Human Exploration Research Analog-HERA

The Human Exploration Research Analog (HERA), formerly known as the Deep Space Habitat, was transferred from the JSC Engineering Directorate to HRP in FY2013. This unique modular three-story habitat was designed and created through a series of university competitions and was previously used in the Desert Research and Technology Studies in the Arizona desert.

The HERA will provide a high-fidelity research venue for scientists to use in addressing risks and gaps associated with human performance during spaceflight. Historically, the habitat was used for exploration engineering systems demonstrations. In its new role, the HERA will serve as an analog for simulation of isolation, confinement, and remote conditions of mission exploration scenarios.

Studies suitable for this analog may include behavioral health and performance assessments, communication and autonomy studies, human factors evaluations, and exploration medical capabilities assessments and operations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rioux_(musician) – excerpt below review of the album

Collaborations[edit]

In the summer of 2012 Rioux collaborated with Trinidadian-American astrophysicist & saxophonist Stephon Alexander to create their collaborative record Here Comes Now, out on August 4 of 2014 Rioux’s record label Connect.^{[23][24][25][26][27]} The album features no-wave artist Arto Lindsay and will explore the connection betweenscience and music, namely the creation of the universe.^{[23][24][28][29]}

Here Comes Now was given a positive score of 7.2 by Pitchfork (Pitchfork Media) before the album was even released. Pitchfork said

"Rioux's propulsive, cheery beats give the album its momentum. The music mostly races forward with gently twinkling synths and drums, punctuated by long saxophone solos and short riffs."

^[30]

On September 5, 2014 Here Comes Now was named ″Sunset Album of the Week″ by one of Sydney, Australia's leading independent radio stations FBi Radio.^[31]

Also in September of that year, Rioux joined Cibo Matto to open for them on a few of their fall tour dates in the US.^[32]

Why Baseball for my boy or girl...well speaking as a parent both my kids Maria and Evan played in South Central from t-ball to Majors ..Maria did girls softball after minors.. (and in Evan's case through Varsity in High School)... it teaches TEAMWORK, BEING DEPENDABLE, PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT, INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY TO DO YOUR BEST -- all skills that take you far in the workplace and as a family member. And if you are passionate about BASEBALL or SOFTBALL  you can be be tall, short, overweight or underweight... and STILL be a great baseball or softball player!! And if you decide to go "pro" the longest careers, older ages of players, the salaries of all the team players and not just the stars, and the risks of injury -- COMPARE BASEBALL TO that other popular sport in Texas... and well... plus it can help in getting into colleges --its an extracurricular where you can have your coach write a recommendation of your character and you can contribute to the school and gives you an edge against a similar applicant. NOT TO MENTION the HEALTH BENEFITS OF STAYING FIT!!!

Amy Davies, MC/MPA 2010 and Director of MPA Programs is hosting a virtual information session designed specifically for women tomorrow, Thursday, November 5 at 1:00pm EST, about the Mid-Career MPA Program. If you work with or know a woman who would be a perfect fit for the Mid-Career Program, please encourage her to register for this session.

Please share this information with your colleagues:

Our world is facing enormous challenges—and these challenges require committed leadership. Many big problems affect women disproportionately, and women in particular must contribute solutions in so many areas. Women’s leadership isn’t merely important; it is imperative. As Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook, once said, “When we use the full talents of the population, our countries and companies are more productive.”

Join us to learn more about the MC/MPA Program with Amy Davies, director of MPA Programs. She will explain the degree program and its requirements as well as talk about the way it might fit into your career path. On hand will also be several women who are currently enrolled in the degree who can share their experience in the program.
