I’m traveling until the 13th. Want to set up a time after that to video meet?

Sorry all. Didn’t realize these were public.

Count me in for the physical chemistry – the role it plays in conservation of food quality and freshness. Given integration of the nutrition system with ECLSS, how that environment impacts food is of interest. May we have to assume any ionizing radiation protection for the food – that is of interest.

Sounds good!

Hi, my field of interest and expertise is bioenergetics, including mitochondrial respiration, photosynthesis, and cellular stress, as well as processes associated with physiological performance and energetic balance, which may be relevant to efficient biomass and energy production. I am also interested in adaptation and evolution in space, which may be relevant to space farming. I supervise a Space Biology Laboratory in Poland. I hope I can somehow contribute to this project.

Hi, my field of expertise focuses on plant perception and response to abiotic stress, particularly heat stress and UV-B radiation. My work addresses how plants sense and integrate environmental signals at the molecular and cellular levels, and how these mechanisms contribute to stress resilience and acclimation under extreme conditions. This may be especially relevant for plant performance under Martian radiation and thermal fluctuations, as well as for developing stress-resilient crops for space farming systems.
I am the Principal Investigator of the Montesinos Lab, where we study stress signaling and adaptive responses in plants. I would be very interested in contributing to this project, particularly in aspects related to radiation sensing, thermal stress adaptation, and signaling networks that support plant survival in extraterrestrial environments.
