Comparative Physiologist, Dr. Jessica Meir, selected as a 2013 NASA Astronaut Candidate!

I am thrilled that Comparative Physiologist Dr. Jessica Meir, who was featured in a prior post, has been chosen as a 2013 Astronaut Candidate by NASA! I really enjoyed learning more about her life story in this video and I am looking forward to hearing more about her accomplishments as an Astronaut in the years to come.

Congratulations Dr. Meir and the rest of the 2013 Astronaut Candidates!
