Ariel Ekblaw, PhD, founder and CEO of Aurelia Institute, joins Nick Dirks in the second episode of Shaping Science to discuss the complexity and promise of modern space exploration. Dr. Ekblaw talks about the work her nonprofit is doing in developing “space LEGOs” to create customizable space structures for humans, the utility of zero gravity for medical applications, and her thoughts on democratizing space travel to make it as accessible as possible.
Shaping Science is made possible with the generous support of the Tata Group. For more info, visit: nyas.org/ideas-insights/podcasts/
