09.15.06

The UK Space Biomedicine Group is holding is 3rd Space Medicine Conference on September 30-October 1 at the National Space Centre in Leicester. The penultimate panel of the conference, according to the program, will focus on “medical issues for space tourism”. The featured speakers include a doctor working for Virgin Galactic, Dr. Julia Tizard, and a representative from Wyle Labs, which recently established a new business unit focusing on space tourism services.

Interesting, but note that Julia Tsizard is not a medical doctor, but rather a PhD in (I believe) astrophysics.
