NASA Spaceline Current Awareness List #754 23 June 2017 (Space Life Science Research Results)
SPACELINE Current Awareness Lists are distributed via listserv. Please send any correspondence to Robyn Ertwine, SPACELINE Current Awareness Senior Editor,rertwine@nasaprs.com.
In case you missed it: On the June 16th edition of NPR’s Science Friday, researcher Michael Levin, Director of the Allen Discovery Center at Tufts University, joined host Ira Flatow to discuss Levin’s research about the effects of spaceflight on regeneration in planarian flatworms. One of the notable findings was the regeneration of a second head in one specimen. The episode can be found at https://www.sciencefriday.com/
