NASA Spaceline Current Awareness List #726 2 December 2016 (Space Life Science Research Results)
SpaceRef Editor’s note: NASA’s various life sciences programs have prepared the SPACELINE Current Awareness updates since 1999 covering all aspects of space life science, gravitational biology, space medicine, and human factors. NASA does not maintain a website – nor does it have an archive of this resource online. However, SpaceRef does have a complete archive of SPACELINE updates all the way back to 1999 that can be accessed here: http://www.spaceref.com/news/mission.html?mid=188&pag
Spaceline: Please note: Starting with List #727 on December 9, 2016, SPACELINE Current Awareness Lists will be distributed via the listserv spaceline@listsrv2.nasaprs.com. Please add this new address to your contact list. Please do not reply to listserv emails; send any correspondence to Robyn Ertwine, SPACELINE Current Awareness Senior Editor, rertwine@nasaprs.com.
