This is a public talk about astronaut health risks during deep space exploration, including exposure to deep space radiation (galactic cosmic rays and solar particle events), microgravity and other stressors, and about the research currently being done at NASA Ames and other institutions to investigate and mitigate these risks. I will specifically focus on the risk posed by exposure to deep space radiation, and will briefly describe my own research on developing human brain-on-a-chip models to investigate its impact on the central nervous system.
