Joining Gemma to talk about the experiment is Dr. Matt Bernards, an associate professor in Chemical & Biological Engineering at the University of Idaho and Director of the Nasa Idaho Space Grant Consortium.

My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
