Houston, we have a podcast. Welcome to the official podcast of the NASA Johnson Space Center,

episode 9, International Space Station Number 2, research. I'm Gary Jordan and I'll be your

host today. So if you're new to the podcast, this is the one where

we bring on experts, NASA scientists, engineers, astronauts, and they tell you everything you need

to know, all the coolest parts about NASA. So today we're talking about Space Station science with Tara Rutley.

She's the Associate Program scientist for the Space Station here at the NASA Johnson Space

Center in Houston, Texas.

And we had a great discussion about what kinds of research we're doing

aboard the orbiting complex right now, what we're learning and why it's important. So with

no further delay, let's go light speed and jump right ahead to our talk with Dr. Tara Rutley.

Enjoy. T-minus Minus to I second, then county.

So that's kind of what I wanted to talk about today, and you're the perfect person to do that

as the Associate Program scientist for the International Space Station program.
