Podcast appearances and mentions of kate rubins

Becoming an astronaut now or in the past was and remains a strict and demanding process. One needs 1,000 hours of pilot-in-command time in a jet aircraft, or two years of relevant professional training, along with a master's degree in STEM fields (not all degrees count), or a Ph.D. and test pilot training, etc. This is just to apply, not to mention 20/20 vision and meeting strict anthropometric requirements, before going through years of tough training. Astronauts are, in essence, the best of the best. And since American space work in particular got off the ground both men and women have made an impact in areas where others would simply not succeed. Therefore it is odd that Jeff Bezos is using his Blue Origin New Shepard rocket, actually shaped like a real penis, to shoot his girlfriend, Lauren Sánchez, and a crew of women into a suborbital flight for 15 minutes in the name of ‘women'. Sánchez, who is a trained pilot, will lead the crew, stating: “It's going to be women who are making a difference in the world and who are impactful and have a message to send.” But perhaps Bezos, Sánchez, and corporate media have forgotten about the countless pioneering women from all over the world who have already done what Blue Origin seeks to do as part of what could be just a PR stunt using women as the hook - Bezos, after all, did cheat on his ex-wife. For example, Kalpana Chawla, the first Indian astronaut, with two advanced engineering degrees and a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering, pioneered vertical take-off and landing concepts now being used by… SpaceX and Bezos' Blue Origin. Peggy Whitson holds the record for the most cumulative days in space period at 665. Christina Koch holds the record for the longest extended stay in space for a woman - 328 days. She also participated with Jessica Meir in the first all-female spacewalk. Kate Rubins was the first astronaut period to sequence DNA in space. Eileen Collins earned four degrees in STEM, economics and management while finding time to become a U.S. AF pilot, and eventually become the first woman ever to pilot a space shuttle. She also docked with the Russian space station and facilitated the deployment of the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The first African American woman in space, Mae Jemison, born in 1956 in Alabama went on to earn an engineering degree in her teens, and a doctorate shortly after, before becoming an astronaut and carrying out 44 science experiments in space. Nicole Mann become the first Native woman in space in 2022. Then there is the first American woman in space, Sally Ride, with a Ph.D. in physics and several NASA missions to her name. She also investigated the Challenger disaster and the Columbia crash. The first two women in space, however, were Russian, paving the way for all others: Valentina Tereshkova and Svetlana Savitskaya. Dismissing this inspiring history demeans and degrades and erases women from history.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Houston, we definitely do NOT have a problem…with interviewing Dr. Kate Rubins, NASA astronaut.  Dr. Rubins is a virologist who has spent over 300 days in space, performing experiments aboard the International Space Station, where she was the first person to sequence DNA in space. We caught up with Dr. Rubins at the Neutral Buoyancy Lab in Houston, where she discusses what it felt like the first time she saw the earth from space, some of the difficulties in performing research without gravity, how to study the microbiome of the ISS, how the international inhabitants of the ISS communicate with each other, and the spur-of-the-moment event that led to her becoming an astronaut. This episode was supported by Cestodium, a new weight-loss program.* Participants: Karl Klose, Ph.D. (UTSA) Kate Rubins, Ph.D. (NASA) Janakiram Seshu, Ph.D. (UTSA) Jesus Romo, Ph.D. (UTSA) *The recorded ads heard on microTalk are for parody purposes only, there are no actual products for sale.

Becoming an astronaut now or in the past was and remains a strict and demanding process. One needs 1,000 hours of pilot-in-command time in a jet aircraft, or two years of relevant professional training, along with a master's degree in STEM fields (not all degrees count), or a Ph.D. and test pilot training, etc. This is just to apply, not to mention 20/20 vision and meeting strict anthropometric requirements, before going through years of tough training. Astronauts are, in essence, the best of the best. And since American space work in particular got off the ground both men and women have made an impact in areas where others would simply not succeed. Therefore it is odd that Jeff Bezos is using his Blue Origin New Shepard rocket, actually shaped like a real penis, to shoot his girlfriend, Lauren Sánchez, and a crew of women into a suborbital flight for 15 minutes in the name of ‘women'. Sánchez, who is a trained pilot, will lead the crew, stating: “It's going to be women who are making a difference in the world and who are impactful and have a message to send.” But perhaps Bezos, Sánchez, and corporate media have forgotten about the countless pioneering women from all over the world who have already done what Blue Origin seeks to do as part of what could be just a PR stunt using women as the hook - Bezos, after all, did cheat on his ex-wife. For example, Kalpana Chawla, the first Indian astronaut, with two advanced engineering degrees and a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering, pioneered vertical take-off and landing concepts now being used by… SpaceX and Bezos' Blue Origin. Peggy Whitson holds the record for the most cumulative days in space period at 665. Christina Koch holds the record for the longest extended stay in space for a woman - 328 days. She also participated with Jessica Meir in the first all-female spacewalk. Kate Rubins was the first astronaut period to sequence DNA in space. Eileen Collins earned four degrees in STEM, economics and management while finding time to become a U.S. AF pilot, and eventually become the first woman ever to pilot a space shuttle. She also docked with the Russian space station and facilitated the deployment of the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The first African American woman in space, Mae Jemison, born in 1956 in Alabama went on to earn an engineering degree in her teens, and a doctorate shortly after, before becoming an astronaut and carrying out 44 science experiments in space. Nicole Mann become the first Native woman in space in 2022. Then there is the first American woman in space, Sally Ride, with a Ph.D. in physics and several NASA missions to her name. She also investigated the Challenger disaster and the Columbia crash. The first two women in space, however, were Russian, paving the way for all others: Valentina Tereshkova and Svetlana Savitskaya. Dismissing this inspiring history demeans and degrades and erases women from history.

Dr. Kate Rubins is a NASA astronaut and microbiologist. She has completed two expeditions to the International Space Station and spent 300 days in space. She became the first person to sequence DNA in space in 2016, and grew cardiomyocytes (in collaboration with Arun in Joseph Wu's lab at Stanford) in cell culture and performed PCR and microbiome experiments while in orbit. 

*) US to withdraw all troops from Afghanistan by September 11 President Joe Biden says the US will withdraw all troops from Afghanistan by September 11, almost 20 years after the war began. Biden's decision would miss a May 1 withdrawal deadline that his predecessor Donald Trump had agreed to with the Taliban. Hours after the announcement, the Taliban said the group will not attend any summit on Afghanistan's future until all foreign forces leave the country. *) Minnesota officers resign two days after Daunte Wright shooting The Minnesota police officer who fatally shot Black motorist Daunte Wright during a traffic stop and the city's police chief have resigned. The resignations came after the city council passed a resolution to dismiss both police personnel over the death by “mistake” that triggered protests. Tensions have soared in the community, already on edge amid former cop Derek Chauvin's ongoing murder trial over George Floyd’s death last year. *) Pakistan forces try to clear sit-ins by protesters Pakistani forces fired tear gas at baton-charged supporters of a religious party after five people died in earlier demonstrations that turned violent this week. Protests erupted on Monday in major cities across the country after police arrested Saad Rizvi, the leader of the Tehreek-e-Labiak Pakistan. Rizvi was taken into custody hours after the TLP threatened the government with protests if they did not expel France’s ambassador over depictions of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad. *) US pauses use of J&J vaccine over rare blood clots Health authorities in the US have called for an immediate pause in the use of the Johnson and Johnson single-dose coronavirus vaccine. The joint decision, by the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control, comes after a rare disorder involving blood clots was reported in six people. Almost seven million Americans have received the Johnson and Johnson shots and one suspected death has been reported from clots linked to the jab. *) A photo of Turkey’s Van lake wins NASA competition A photograph of Lake Van in eastern Turkey has won a NASA photo competition. The photo, depicting the lake with its swirling cerulean and azure waters, was captured by astronaut Kate Rubins from space. The Tournament Earth competition gathered 32 participants and featured more than two decades of snapshots taken by astronauts.

Hi,I’m excited to some extent to share a few things in this news episode… Mainly because my favourite environmentalist, Sir David Attenborough has not just created an Instagram account but even made a guinnesse world record for being the fastest to reach a million. We do discuss few other things before that, like the US president testing positive for corona, Nobel prize for medicine, mars being closes to earth, NASA astronaut voting from space and so much more!I hope you enjoy viewing this episode as much as I enjoyed making it…Thanks,

NASA ASTRONAUT WILL VOTE FROM SPACE IN 2020 NASA astronaut Kate Rubins plans to cast her vote for the 2020 presidential election on the International Space Station — more than 200 miles above the Earth's surface, according to The Associated Press. “I think it's really important for everybody to vote,” said Rubins.

Its not everyday you get to chat to an Astronaut - especially one who is about to head up on a six-month mission to the ISS. Kate Rubins is a molecular biologist who was selected by NASA back in 2009 - then during her first mission to the space station she became the first person to sequence DNA in space. I managed to interrupt her busy training schedule – she is due to launch for NASA expedition 64 in a few weeks – to talk space microbiomes, growing cells in microgravity and, well, lots of other fan-boy space questions!

Join Rick Potlock from the Washington Bureau as he introduces the next women astronaut to board the International Space Station.  Kate Rubins has been assigned to a six-moth mission to the ISS. Rubins and two Russian Cosmonauts will blast off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in October on the Soyuz MS-17 spacecraft.

Ecco la puntata 32 della stagione 13 di AstronautiCAST. Tutti i link e gli approfondimenti sono disponibili nelle note dell'episodio.

In 2016, NASA Astronaut Kate Rubins spent 115 days in space—or as she would say, 115 days "off planet." On this episode of Broadband Conversations, listeners will get to hear Rubins, a biologist by training, describe life on the International Space Station and the process of re-entering life back on Earth. As a NASA astronaut, Rubin's shares how she went from a little girl with a dream to be among the stars to the reality of spending nearly 13 hours of spacewalk time.

NASA Astronaut and Former Whitehead Fellow Kathleen “Kate” Rubins sits down with Whitehead’s Director David Page to discuss her journey from studying pox viruses to sequencing DNA in space.

On this very special episode of Talking Space, with a new crew onboard the International Space Station, we go to Washington DC for the 2017 International Space Station Research and Development Conference, or ISSRDC. We learn all about the science happening on station, the future of the ISS, a look at the commercial partners, and some other topics you might not know had to do with ISS. We begin by talking with NASA astronaut and molecular biologist Dr. Kate Rubins about her time on station and her groundbreaking research on decoding genes in space. We also talk with the Principal Investigator for that project, Dr. Sarah Wallace, on what being able to work with DNA in space means for future space flight as well as right back here on Earth. Next, we listen in as students got to talk live with astronaut Jack Fischer onboard the ISS through ham radio and ARISS. Next, after our discussion last week about the merits of the National Space Council returning, we talk with a former member of the council, Courtney Stadd. Finally we take a look at Elon Musk's lunch keynote address and some major announcements regarding Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, and future Mars exploration. An image gallery was inserted here.

Kate Rubins is an astronaut and biologist on board the International Space Station. During her time on the ISS, Rubins became the first person to sequence DNA microgravity - but she's also had to help maintain the space station, and even repair the toilet plumbing. She talks with Chuck about how NASA helps her cast her ballot if she doesn't make it back to Earth before the election.

This episode takes off with the successful launch of a United Launch Alliance Delta IV rocket carrying the second pair of satellites for the U.S. Air Force's Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program (GSSAP). Looking ahead to the company's next launch for the NASA mission OSIRIS-REX and even further to the test flight of Boeing's CST-100 Starliner, we also discuss their not-quite-as-high-tech but welcome efforts to upgrade the company's launch stream for the public. Continuing with the return of crewed spaceflight to American shores, we take a look at the results of the RS-25 engine firing test for NASA's Space Launch System and upcoming tests for the program intended to take us to Mars. SpaceX' launch of the JCSAT satellites rounds out a very busy August for the space industry before the month has even concluded. At the other end of the launch process, spacewalkers Jeff Williams and Kate Rubins successfully installed the first International Docking Adapter on the ISS to enable docking of a variety of spacecraft, including the upcoming commercial crew vehicles. As commercial access to the ISS increases there is an idea of extending the life of the station by selling it off when the space agencies involved end their cooperative agreements to keep the orbiting lab afloat. Is this feasible? Are there other options for using the station beyond the current plans and what would it take to make them happen? What is the future of not just the ISS but laboratories in orbit? In the even nearer future, Russia has announced their plans to reduce the amount of cosmonauts on station just after news broke of plans to invest in researching a trip to the moon. Again, is this feasible? We discuss the relationship between dreaming and pragmatism when it comes to space exploration, particularly in the two premier spacefaring nations. After all this speculation on the future of space exploration, we take a look back at the days when America was dreaming and preparing for all of this with the X-15. Mark brings our attention to the White Eagle Aerospace blog with just a little sample of the fascinating histories they are preserving over there. We highly recommend visiting the site, with a warning that you might not be able to pull yourself away for a few hours.

On 6 July, the spacecraft Soyuz MS-01 is scheduled to blast-off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, headed for the International Space Station (ISS). On board, will be Dr Kate Rubins, who, along with Anatoli Ivanishin and Takuya Onishi, will be part of the 48th expedition to the ISS, due to return in November this year. Before training with NASA, Kate worked as a microbiologist, most recently at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, where she worked on emerging viruses such as the Ebola and Lassa viruses. For this month's podcast, we caught up with Kate as she prepared for her mission, and chatted about the experiments she'll be undertaking in space, what it's like to train to be an astronaut, and whether a pipette works in microgravity...
