Today, the students of Odyssey 678 were surprised with a special visit from a guest speaker, Elysse Grossi-Soyster, a Senior Research assistant in the Virology and Parasitology Lab at Stanford University and consultant a for NASA. Because of her many experiences in the fields of science and technology, she was able to give students a glimpse of what it’s like to study the diseases of Chikungunya and Dengue. These are viruses caused by mosquitoes who carry the disease to humans when they suck our blood. At this time, students were studying infectious diseases in science and so this supplement was very interesting to hear about.

Students learned about the future of long term space missions and renewability. One problem during space missions is managing waste. Students learned some of the astonishing methods of renewing energy in space, such as converting urine into methane fuel power the spaceship! Elysse explained the use of a 3D printer to make food out of basic food substances like fats and carbohydrates, which could play an important role in reproducing food out of lab grown materials, and students asked questions and took notes throughout the presentation.
