💫 **Friendly monthly Animal AWG meeting reminder - Tomorrow, Wednesday, April 22nd from 12 to 1 pm EST**

Dr. Candice Tahimic is an Assistant Professor at the University of North Florida. Current topics of investigation in her lab include understanding the mechanisms underlying cardiovascular adaptations to spaceflight with a focus on mitochondrial signaling.

Her talk will cover the long-term impact of simulated GCR exposure on molecular signatures of the heart. Collectively, the findings that will be presented will highlight the potential for delayed, sex-specific cardiovascular risks following space radiation exposure, emphasizing the need to incorporate sex and dose considerations into risk assessment for deep space missions.

See you there!
