Lonestar Community College and Des Moines Community College have partnered with NASA and the UTEX Culture Collection of Algae at the University of Texas, Austin, to put microalgae into Space! This exciting project will allow scientists on the International Space Station study the effects of microgravity on the growth of the algae. And at the conclusion of the study, the samples will be brought back to Earth and shared with educators so that students can also study the samples!
How cool is this? Des Moines Area Community College Biotechnology program graduate Lyndsay Baker's experiment will be sent to the International Space Station for research. Lyndsay hopes that the algae grown as part of her experiment will produce the compound astaxanthin to help keep astronauts healthy. Lyndsay's project, Microalgae Biosynthesis ...
DMACC Biotechnology program graduate Lyndsay Baker has accomplished one of her dreams. In November she will have an experiment sent to the International Space Station for research. Lyndsay hopes that the algae grown as part of her experiment will produce the compound astaxanthin to help keep astronauts healthy.
