In each episode of this podcast, we will discuss cutting edge issues on technology, data and the law. We will provide practical observations on a wide variety of technology and data topics to give you quick and actionable tips to address the issues you are dealing with every day.  Susan: Welcome to Tech Law Talks and our new series on AI. Over the coming months, we'll explore the key challenges and opportunities within the rapidly evolving AI landscape. And today we will focus on AI in shipping. My name is Susan Riitala. I'm a partner in the asset finance team of the transportation group here in the London office of Reed Smith.  Thor: Hello, I'm Thor Maalouf. I'm also a partner in the transportation group at Reed Smith, focusing on disputes.  Susan: So when we think about how AI might be relevant to shipping, One immediate thing that springs to mind is the development of marine autonomous vessels. So, Thor, please can you explain to everyone exactly what autonomous vessels are?  Thor: Sure. So, according to the International Maritime Organization, the IMO, a maritime autonomous surface ship or MASS is defined as a ship which, to a varying degree, can operate independently of human interaction. Now, that can include using technology to carry out various ship-related functions like navigation, propulsion, steering, and control of machinery, which can include using AI. In terms of real-world developments, at this year's meeting of the IMO's working group on autonomous vessels, which happened last month in June, scientists from the Korean Research Institute outlined their work on the development and testing of intelligent navigation systems for autonomous vessels using AI. That system was called NEEMO. It's undergone simulated and virtual testing, as well as inland water model tests, and it's now being installed on a ship with a view to being tested at sea this summer. Participants in that conference also saw simulated demonstrations from other Korean companies like the familiar Samsung Heavy Industries and Hyundai of systems that they're trialing for autonomous ships, which include autonomous navigation systems using a combination of AI, satellite technology and cameras. And crewless coastal cargo ships are already operating in Norway, and a crewless passenger ferry is already being used in Japan. Now, fundamentally, autonomous devices learn from their surroundings, and they complete tasks without continuous human input. So, this can include simplifying automated tasks on a vessel, or a vessel that can conduct its entire voyage without any human interaction. Now, the IMO has worked on categorizing a spectrum of autonomy using different degrees and levels of automation. So the lowest level still involves some human navigation and operation, and the highest level does not. So for example, the IMO has a degree Degree 1 of autonomy, a ship with just some automated processes and decision support, where there are seafarers on board to operate and control shipboard systems and functions. But there are some operations which can be automated at times and be unsupervised. Now, as that moves up through the degrees, we get to, for example, Degree 3, where you have a remotely controlled ship without seafarers on board the ship. The ship will be controlled and operated from a remote location. All the way up to degree four, the highest level of automation, where you have a fully autonomous ship, where the operating systems of the ship are able to make their own decisions and determine their own actions without human interaction. action.  Susan: Okay, so it seems like from what you said, there are potentially a number of legal challenges that could arise from the increased use of autonomy in shipping. So for example, how might the concept of seaworthiness apply to autonomous vessels, especially ones where you have no crew on board?  Thor: Yeah, that's an interesting question. So the requirement for seaworthiness is generally met when a vessel's properly constructed, prepared, manned and equipped for the voyage that's intended. Now, in the case of autonomous vessels, they're not going to be able to. The kind of query turns to how a shipowner can actually warrant that a vessel is properly manned for the intended voyage where some systems are automated. What standard of autonomous or AI-assisted watchkeeping setup could be sufficient to qualify as having excised due diligence? A consideration is of course whether responsibility for seaworthiness could actually be shifted from the shipowner to the manufacturer of the automated functions or or the programmer of the software of the automated functions on board the vessel as you're aware the concept of seaworthiness is one of many warranties that's regularly incorporated in contracts for the use of ships and for carriage of cargo. And a ship owner can be liable for the damage that results if there's an incident before which the ship owner has failed to exercise due diligence to make the ship seaworthy. And this, in English law, is judged by the standard of what level of diligence would be reasonable for a reasonably prudent ship owner. That's true even if there has been a subsequent nautical fault on board. But how much oversight and knowledge of workings of an autonomous or AI-driven system could a prudent ship owner actually have? I mean, are they expected to be a software or AI expert? Under the existing English law on unseaworthiness, a shipowner or a carrier might not be responsible for faults made by an independent contractor before the ship came into their possession or before it came into their orbit. So potentially faults made during the shipbuilding process. So to what extent could any faults in an AI or autonomous system be treated in that way? Perhaps a ship owner or carrier could claim a defect in an autonomous system came about before the vessel came into their orbit and therefore they're potentially not responsible for subsequent unseaworthiness or incidents that result. There's also typically an exception to a ship owner's liability for navigational faults on board the vessel if that vessel has passed a seaworthiness test. But if certain crew and management functions have been replaced by autonomous AI systems on board, how could we assess whether there's or not there has actually been a navigational fault for which the owners might escape liability or pre-existing issue of unseaworthiness, so a pre-existing hardware or software glitch? This opens up a whole new line of inquiry as to at what might have happened behind the software code or the protocols of the autonomous system on board and the legal issues of responsibility of the ship owner and the subsequent applicable liability for any incidents which might have been caused by unseaworthiness are going to involve a significant legal inquiry and in new areas where it comes to autonomous vessels.  Susan: Sounds very interesting. And I guess that makes me think of, I guess, a wider issue that crewing is only part of, which would be standards and regulations relating to autonomous vessels. And obviously, as a finance lawyer, that would be something my clients will be particularly interested in, in terms of what standards are there in place so far for autonomous vessels and what regulation can we expect in the future?  Thor: Sure. Well, the answer is at the moment, there's not very much. So as I've mentioned already, the IMO has established a working group on autonomous vessels. And the aim of that IMO working group is to adopt a non-mandatory goal-based code for autonomous vessels, the MASS code, which will aim to be in place by 2025. But like I said, that will be non-mandatory, and that will then form the basis for what's intended to be a mandatory MASS Code, which is expected to come into force on the 1st of January 2028. Now, the MASS Code working group last met in May of this year. And it reports on a number of recommendations for inclusion in the initial voluntary MASS Code. Interestingly, one of those recommendations was for all autonomous vessels, so even the fully autonomous degree four vessels, to have a human being, a person in charge designated as the master even if that person is remote at all times so that may rule out a fully autonomous non-supervised vessel from being compliant with the code. So mandatory standards still very much under develop in development and not currently in force until 2028 at the moment that doesn't mean to say there won't be national regulations or flag regulations covering those vessels before then.  Susan: Right. And then I guess another area there would be insurance. I mean, what happens if something happens to a vessel? I mean, I'm looking at it from a financial perspective, of course, but obviously for ship owners as well, insurance will be the key source of recovery. So what kinds of insurance products would already be available for autonomous vessels?  Thor: Well, good to know that some of the insurers are already offering products covering autonomous vessels. So just having Googled what's available the other day, I bumped into Ship Owners Club, which holds entries for between 50 and 80 autonomous vessels under their All Risks P&I cover. And it seems that Guard is also providing hull and machinery and P&I cover for autonomous vessels. And I can see that their industry is definitely taking steps to get to grips with cover for autonomous vessels. So hull and P&I cover is definitely out there. So we've covered some of the legal challenges and insurance and what autonomous vessels are. I wonder, Susan, what other more specific challenges people interested in financing autonomous vessels might face?  Susan: Sure. Yeah. So, I mean, I guess I'll preface that by saying that I'm an asset finance lawyer. So instinctively, when I think about financing autonomous vessels, I'm thinking about the assets itself. So either financing the construction or the acquisitions of of the vessel. But in terms of autonomous vessels in particular, there are boundless investment opportunities beyond just the vessel itself, you know, on the financing, some of the research and development, some of the corporate finance of the companies designing and building those vessels, and the technology used to operate them. So there's, I imagine, a vast opportunity here for an investor who's keen to get involved. From a commercial perspective, autonomous vessels are pretty new. They're pretty untested. Obviously, you've talked a lot about the fact that a lot of the regulation isn't really completely there yet. There's a lot of development still to come. So it takes quite a brave investor to put funding into it. And so far, at least, the return on investment is a bit uncertain. It's not like investing in a tanker or a bulk carrier where you've got a known market. Everyone knows what the problems are. Everyone knows what the risks are, how to mitigate them. So in a lot of ways, this is all still very, very new, both for the owners and for the finances. But investors are very interested in sustainability solutions. They're interested in what the next big thing is. So I imagine that the autonomous ships are quite likely to appeal with potentially better safety records, being more sustainable. That in turn would then make the asset better value for the investors and less likely to result in insurance claims or reputational damage resulting from incidents and that sort of thing. From a legal perspective, it doesn't immediately seem that there would be a huge difference in taking a mortgage over an autonomous ship versus a manned one. But then it becomes a bit more complicated if we start to think about enforcing that mortgage. So in the traditional way to enforce a mortgage, the mortgagee will arrest the vessel in a suitable port. Depending on where the vessel is, the lender may need to instruct the borrower or the manager to sail the vessel to a suitable port. And if the borrower fails to do this, the lender can become a mortgagee in possession, take over the ship, sail it into a friendly port and apply for traditional sale. But how are you going to do that if you can't just go on board and say to the master, hey, I've arrested this ship, I'm going to take over now. And thinking about, for example, the degree three vessels where you'd have a remote operator redirecting the ship, what happens? Presumably the mortgagee would have to go to them and say we'd like you to redirect this vessel what if they refuse can the lender take over can they override the autonomous system or the remote operation would they have to. Would there be cybersecurity issues, issues with password and access and things like that? I mean, these are all kind of big questions at the moment that no one's tried to do this yet. So it isn't really clear how all of this would fit in with the existing law on the rights of a mortgagee in possession, which is a very well-tested legal concept, but it does assume physical control of the ship, which is not as obvious in an autonomous scenario as it would otherwise be. And a conducted issue to that would be, what I already mentioned, is kind of the absence of a clear market, and this would be relevant in the context of a judicial sale. So at least at the outset, valuing autonomous vessels could be a bit difficult. And until there's a clearly defined secondhand market, it might be difficult to lend us to determine whether it's even worth enforcing in terms of the potential return they would get, because it's difficult to analyze how much you might be able to get for the vessel. Not aware of any cases where someone has tried to do this. So the existing law will definitely need to develop and it's going to be very interesting times as we navigate these changes in the market in relation to autonomous vessels.  Thor: Yeah, I can see that autonomy definitely throws up a whole bunch of issues for financing.  Susan: Definitely. I mean, at the moment, we don't entirely know all the answers, but we're definitely looking forward to finding out.  Thor: Right.  Susan: Thank you so much for joining us for our AI podcast today.  Outro: Tech Law Talks is a Reed Smith production.

Tema ove epizode je široka, pričamo o neandertalcima i arheološkim istraživanjima paleolita, pogotovo na području centralnog Balkana i u Srbiji. Genetička istraživanja su nedvosmisleno pokazala da je u paleolitu bilo mešanja između anatomski savremenih ljudi (Homo Sapiens) i neandertalaca (Homo Neanderthalis), i o tome možete čuti više u jednoj od prethodnih epizoda Rario Galaksije, ovde. Međutim, kada je u pitanju arheologija paleolita, ključna pitanja još uvek nemaju odgovore. Još su otvorena pitanja poput toga kako se interakcija između neandertalaca i anatomski savremenih ljudi dešavala u dugačkom periodu, od pre oko 400 godina do pre oko 40 hiljada godina, kao i koliko je kontakt sa neandertalcima mogao da utiče na konačno uobličavanje modernog ponašanja, te koliko je pojava modernog čoveka mogla da utiče na izumiranje neandertalaca? Gost epizode je bio prof. dr Dušan Mihailović, redovni profesor i upravnik Odeljenja za arheologiju na Filozofskom fakutletu Univerziteta u Beogradu i rukovodilac projekta NEEMO (Neanderthal and early modern human interactions in the central Balkans). Razgovarali smo o tome kako arheologija istražuje paleolit, šta znamo o neandertalcima i kako smo do tih saznanja došli (od 1856. godine u pećini Neandertal u Nemačkoj pa do danas), kakva su se istraživanja vršila na području Balkana, šta su najnovija istraživanja u ovoj oblasti, kako se došlo do otkrića prvog fosila neandertalaca na području Srbije, u pećini Mala Balanica, koji je ujedno i najstariji otkriven fosilni ostatak hominina na području Istočne Evrope (star preko 300 000 godina), kao i kakvih sve još otkrića ima u pećinama u Srbiji i šta nas sve još očekuje kroz istraživanja koje istraživački tim projekta NEEMO sprovodi. Pričali smo o tome kako izgleda jedan proces arheoloških iskopavanja paleolitskog lokaliteta, kao i kako izgleda proces zaključivanja i istraživanja uz uzimanje u obzir mnoštva drugih disciplina i znanja specijalizovanih interdisciplinarnih oblasti poput paleobotanike, paleoklimatologije, paleogeografije, paleoantropologije, arheogenetike, itd. Ukoliko vas zanima da o paleolitu na centralnom Balkanu više čitate, tu je i istoimena knjiga koju je profesor Mihailović napisao, a koju možete naći na sajtu Srpskog arheološkog društva: "Paleolit na centralnom Balkanu". A tu su i raznovrsni radovi istraživačkog tima NEEMO projekta, koje možete pronaći ovde.  Projekat NEEMO je finansiran od strane Fonda za nauku Republike Srbije. Support the show

Dave Williams was an emergency physician in Toronto and Director of the Department of Emergency Services at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre prior to his selection by the Canadian Space Agency in 1992. He was one of four successful astronaut candidates from a field of over 5300 applicants. He completed basic training, and in May 1993, was appointed manager of the Missions and Space Medicine Group within the Canadian Astronaut Program.In January 1995, Williams was selected to join the international class of NASA mission specialist astronaut candidates. In April 1998, he participated in STS-­90 as flight engineer, Mission Specialist 3, and crew medical officer aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia. During the 16-day mission dedicated to neuroscience research, the team conducted numerous experiments which were foundational to future scientific discoveries. From July 1998 until September 2002, he held the position of Director of the Space and Life Sciences Directorate at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. With this appointment, he became the first non-American to hold a senior management position within NASA. He concurrently held a position as the first deputy associate administrator for crew health and safety in the Office of Space Flight at NASA Headquarters in 2001. He became an aquanaut through his participation in the joint NASA-NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) NEEMO 1 mission, a training exercise held in Aquarius, the world's only underwater research laboratory. During this seven-day exercise, Williams became the first Canadian to have lived and worked in space and in the ocean. Subsequently in 2006, he led NEEMO 9 as the crew commander of an 18-day mission dedicated to assessing technologies and protocols for remote medical care. His second spaceflight on STS-118 took place August 8-21, 2007. During the mission Endeavour's crew successfully added the S5 truss segment, a new gyroscope and an external spare parts platform to the International Space Station. Williams participated in three of a total of four spacewalks (EVAs) and was the lead spacewalker in two of the three EVAs. Traveling 5.3 million miles in space, the STS-118 mission was completed in 12 days, 17 hours, 55 minutes and 34 seconds.  A veteran of two space flights, STS-90 in 1998 and STS-118 in 2007, Dave Williams has logged over 687 hours in space including 3 spacewalks (EVAs) totaling 17 hours and 47 minutes establishing the record for the most spacewalks by a Canadian astronaut. Dave Williams retired from active astronaut status in 2008 and through 2011 he held various positions including Chief Medical Officer for Safety and Quality at St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton, Professor of Surgery Faculty of Health Sciences at McMaster and Director of the McMaster Centre for Medical Robotics.  From 2011 to 2017 he was President and CEO at Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket Ontario, where he led a dynamic team of 4500 staff and volunteers dedicated to providing safe, high quality medical care to create the ultimate patient experience. He retired from Southlake and is currently consulting in the healthcare and aerospace sector, speaking, and writing. He has written four children's books and has published his memoir Defying Limits: Lessons From the Edge of the Universe with Simon and Schuster. He is currently working on 3 new books which should be available in 2021.He is a member of the Canadian Aviation Hall of Fame, has received five honourary degrees, numerous other awards and most recently was appointed to the Order of Canada and the Order of Ontario.Music:Chill Soul Rap Instrumental by Nkato https://soundcloud.com/nkato Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/chill-soul-rap-instrum... Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/sdfcUBhRlgs

Our guest today is Dr. Tim Broderick, the chief science officer here at IHMC. Tim is a surgeon and biomedical scientist who joined IHMC last year. Tim has had a fascinating career as a researcher, surgeon and aquanaut. He is well-known as a pioneer in laparoscopic, robotic and telerobotic surgery. He also has led multiple ground, flight and undersea-based biomedical research projects. As a result, he is an honorary NASA flight surgeon and a NOAA undersea saturation diver. Tim spent four years as a DARPA program manager where he conceived and established five high-impact biotechnology projects that included revolutionary programs focused on precision diagnosis and treatment of military-relevant diseases and injuries. Over the years, he  has developed a substantial portfolio of cutting-edge Department of Defense research. In today’s interview, Tim gives an  overview of a fascinating project, called Peerless Operator Biologic Aptitude, which he and his colleagues at IHMC are currently working on. Show notes: [00:03:09] Dawn opens the interview asking Tim about growing up in in Cincinnati and going to Cincinnati Reds games in the 1970s with his family. [00:04:59] Ken asks if growing up in the Apollo era and witnessing the moon landing as a child influenced his interest in science and space. [00:06:16] Tim recounts a story about his father saving someone’s life at church when Tim was a child and how that had a profound impact on him. [00:07:13] Tim tells another story from his college days when he saved a man who nearly had his arm chopped off by a machete. [00:11:22] Dawn asks if it is true that as a teenager Tim would regularly dress up as Scooby-Doo. {00:13:39] Dawn asks if Tim always knew he wanted to be a doctor since he grew up in a family full of doctors. [00:15:21] Ken asks why Tim decided to attend Xavier University in Cincinnati. [00:16:41] Dawn mentions that she has rarely heard of someone heading off to college with the idea of double majoring in chemistry and computer science, and asks how that came about. [00:21:17] Dawn mentions that Tim graduated in four years and in 1986 decided to stay in town for medical school at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Dawn asks what drew him there. [00:22:58] Ken asks if Tim knew he wanted to become a surgeon when he started med school. [00:26:37] Dawn asks what lead Tim to go to Richmond, Virginia, for his residency as a surgical resident at the Medical College of Virginia. [00:28:23] Dawn asks about how Tim’s interest in minimally invasive surgery during his residency, which led to him becoming the director of surgical research at VCU’s Minimally Invasive Surgery Center. [00:29:32] Ken mentions that while Tim was working at VCU he became a consulting surgeon for telemedicine and robotics for the NASA Medical Informatics Technology Applications Consortium. Ken asks what that work entailed. [00:32:32] Ken asks about Tim’s early work in laparoscopic robotic and telerobotic surgery. [00:38:00] Ken asks about how Tim’s experience in remote surgery for astronauts led him to become an aquanaut and a crew member for NASA’s NEEMO 9. [00:40:24] Dawn mentions that it was Tim’s support that was one of the reasons that Dawn had the chance to join NEEMO as a crew member. She goes on to mention that Tim logged time underwater as a NEEMO aquanaut when he returned to the project several years after NEEMO 9 for NEEMO 12. Tim describes what his research was focused on for that mission. [00:43:33] Dawn notes the similarities between an operational environment such as NEEMO, spaceflight and the operating room. Dawn asks if Tim’s experiences in the operating room crossed over into his work on the NEEMO mission. [00:45:08] Tim shares some of his favorite memories from his time underwater with NEEMO. [00:49:48] Dawn mentions that beginning in the year 2003, Tim spent seven years as a senior scientist and trauma portfol...

SMACCForce: Neemo by Marc O Griofa

Shannon’s Wild Idea: To work for NASA and spend months aboard the international space station. Shannon Walker first dreamed of becoming an astronaut in the 1960s. After getting her undergraduate degree in physics and her Masters of Science and Doctorate of Philosophy in Space Physics, she got her start with the Rockwell Space Operations Company at the Johnson Space Center in 1987 as a robotics flight controller for the space shuttle program. In 2004, she was selected to be a part of NASA, and six years later she served as a flight engineer for a long-duration mission aboard the International Space Station. Not only did Shannon need to know how to work a spacecraft, but she had to know how to do it in Russian. In addition to spending time far above the earth, she has also spent time below sea level as an aquanaut on the NEEMO, an underwater space station. She also loves the outdoors and has seen earth from a rare perspective so I was excited to get her thoughts on how the planet and the environment are changing.  Shannon and I discussed how she became an astronaut (which I think most people dream about as kids) and she shared her advice for anyone who wants to work at NASA or who wants to go to outer space. We also talked about overcoming rejection, the excitement that comes from actually learning about science, and how there is so much to explore here on earth. Listen to this episode if:  You have ever wanted to go to space. You’re interested in getting a new perspective on our planet. You are focused on achieving a huge, long-term goal and need some inspiration.

Is Keto diet truly the savior for millions suffering from diabetes, Alzheimers, cancer, auto-immune diseases and obesity or is it yet another fad with serious side effects? Listen to Keto veteran, scientist Dr. Dominic D’Agostino who has not only been researching the Ketogenic diet but also claims its his secret to keeping up with the supermen astronauts as a crew member on NASA’s Extreme Environment Mission Operations 22 (NEEMO 22)! Dr. Dom D'Agostino is a tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology at the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine. He is also a research scientist at the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC). In this podcast, Dr. Dom shares what exactly is a Keto diet, why it actually works, who its right for and how it positively affects your body, mind, and energy. Key Questions answered and highlights: --------------------------------------------------------- 1. What is the Ketogenic diet for those of our listeners who are still scratching their heads going "Is it bacon and beef?" - A ketogenic diet is not a high protein diet, but a high fat diet. - The percentage of the calories that make up the Liberal/Modified keto diet at least 65-70% while 90% fat for Classical keto diet. - The balance of the calories (10-30%) will come from protein. - Ketogenic Diet mimics the metabolic state of fasting - When you're eating calories with the ketogenic diet ratios, your body produces these ketone bodies (beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate) which are break down products of fat. - Ketones are an alternative fuel for your brain to function on - The true litmus test is used measure your blood ketone levels and if they're not elevated, you're not in Ketosis. Urine ketone measurements can also be valuable and less expensive to first confirm you have reached ketosis. - It's the ratio of the macro-nutrients that define the Ketogenic Diet. 2. What does your plate need to look like? What does your typical meal plan look like? - Check The Ketogenic Bible for recipes and tips! Dr. Dom's Personal Keto Plan: Breakfast - 4 Egg Yolk Omelettes with Spinach and Mushroom - Salad w/ Dressing (Olive Oil + medium-chain triglyceride or MCT Oil + Herbs) Dinner - Greens like Asparagus, Brocolli - Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes (Cook Cauliflower until soft, Put in Food Processor, Add Salt and Pepper) - Fatty fish like Salmon or Trout Dessert - Ketogenic Choco Mousse (Sugar-free concentrated Coconut milk + Dark Chocolate Baking Cocoa + Crushed Almonds + Stevia + Cinammon) If you are OK with dairy sour cream can also be used. Benefits of Ketogenic diet and why Dr. D' Agostino does it: 1. Keeps him full and suppresses appetite from breakfast to dinner 2. Helps him keep up with top performers like astronauts when task loaded 3. Gives him more motivation and drive throughout the day 4. Gets more work done 5. Deeper sleep and less sleep requirement 6. Can function on 6.5 hours sleep 7. Functions better physically when forced into a sleep deprived state due work demands or travels 8. Cognitive resilience under sleep deprivation 9. No cravings because the food is higher in fat, it has a satiating effect. Dr. Dom follows a modified version of Ketogenic diet which has 20-30% protein and sometimes bumps protein calories a little high on weight training days.

For this special episode of STEM-Talk, IHMC Research Scientist and STEM-Talk Host Dawn Kernagis sits on the other side of the microphone. This summer, Dawn was one of six divers selected for NASA’s NEEMO (NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations) 21 mission, and we were able to talk to her live from the Aquarius Reef Base, located 62 feet below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. During the 16-day mission, Dawn and her colleagues performed field research designed to test operations and equipment for future space exploration. In particular, the international crew of aquanauts performed research both inside and outside the habitat. During simulated spacewalks carried out underwater, they evaluated tools and mission operation techniques that could be used in future space missions. Inside the habitat, the crew's objectives include testing a DNA sequencer, a medical telemetry device, and HoloLens operational performance for human spaceflight cargo transfer. In many ways, the NEEMO mission crystalizes Dawn’s career. Her research expertise has been focused on human performance, risk mitigation and resilience in extreme environments—namely undersea and in space. In addition to her accomplishments as a scientist, Dawn is also a long-standing diver, and this year was inducted into the Women Divers Hall of Fame. Conducting the interview is IHMC Senior Research Scientist and former NASA astronaut Tom Jones. Dawn shares aspects of her daily life in the undersea habitat, from eating freeze dried food to watching thousands of fish from the galley window every night before bed. She also delves into the research that she conducted, which included testing a mini DNA sequencer and deep water dives to collect samples of several coral species and weighted walks on the ocean floor to simulate space walks. STEM-Talk’s Billy Howell and Jason Conrad, key players in the production of each episode, also join the impromptu conversation with “fanboy” questions for Dawn. Dawn kept a blog about her experience, which you can read at: http://www.ihmc.us/blog/neemo 2:00: Dawn discussed her experience as manager for the world record-breaking diving exploration project Wakulla Springs. 2:24: On her induction, last April, into the Women Divers Hall of Fame, she said, “It was cool to be sitting with women I have looked up to since I was a little girl.” 3:23: Dawn described certain challenges faced by people working in extreme environments such as Navy divers, deep sea divers and astronauts: decompression sickness, oxygen toxicity and nitrogen narcosis. 5:02: Ken Ford read a 5-star iTunes review (which are piling up): “The best podcast. It is as if the double secret selection committee has hacked my Google search. Keep up the great work, team.” 5:37: Tom Jones explained that the NEEMO mission, now in its 15th year, is an analog to deep space expedition. 6:09: Dawn said her voice sounded high because of the increase in air density in her undersea habitat. 7:14: Dawn explained that for the in-water work, they gear up and jump out of the habitat in hard hat diving supplies. “There is constant communication with the habitat,” she says. 9:30: “It makes such a difference to have a great team.” 9:50: “The nice thing is we have support divers who bring supplies up and down on a daily basis. It is not as isolated as space expeditions.” 10:50: Dawn described some of the physiological effects of being at a pressure of 3 atmospheres and 62 feet deep: “I can’t whistle; I have a high voice; we can feel swells pick up overhead—the pressure changes, so our ears are constantly popping. We’re hungry all the time.” 12:12: They performed simulated space walks to identify different species of coral for the Florida International University marine sciences team. 13:25: They used geology sample tools and water-resistant iPads. 14:20: They tested medical telemetry equipment (like min...
