Christopher Bradburne ABSTRACT The convergence of technologies across biology, autonomous systems, and space exploration is enabling the broad new field of 'space biology'. Technological investments in biology and health are being leveraged to enable this new field. Astrobiology, precision medicine, and the public health concept of 'OneHealth' will form a foundation for combined autonomous and … Continue reading A Lot of Space for Biology: Astrobiology, bioastronautics, and the emergence of space biology→

Yet despite its commonness, gaps exist in our understanding of its population structure, primarily in the connectivity of its breeding ponds. Adult newts show extreme philopatry to breeding ponds, so it has been surmised that the terrestrial juvenile eft stage … Continue reading The Elusive Eastern Newt: A Genetic Population Study→
