NSBRI and Devon Island
The National Space Biomedical Research Institute funds research that is conducted on Devon Island. I carried a plaque of the NSBRI logo with me on this expedition.
This forum encourages discussion on Space, Exploration and Life in general! I am an Astronaut. During my time at NASA, I flew on four space missions, most recently serving as the Commander of the International Space Station during Expedition 10, a six and a half month flight. At the end of 2005, I left NASA and currently work as an entrepreneur, motivational speaker and consultant. I also hold a distinguished chair professorship at Louisiana State University.
