Lauren is a space medicine researcher, so have your questions ready!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lauren will take you through the human body, top to toe, talking about all the changes that happen when you go into space. She will discuss how space affects your brain, why you aren&#8217;t allowed to talk &#8220;upside down&#8221; in space, and how astronauts keep fit while living on the International Space Station. We will discuss why things taste different in space, why your ears pop on a plane, and everything you need to know about astronauts living in space. One day humans will live on another planet, but will they look like us?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This event is part of the David Elder series of lectures, supported by the University of Strathclyde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:38% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"561\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/curiousabout.glasgowsciencecentre.org\/the-human-body\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/02\/Screenshot-2022-02-21-at-10.38.37.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2188 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/curiousabout.glasgowsciencecentre.org\/the-human-body\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/02\/Screenshot-2022-02-21-at-10.38.37.png 561w, https:\/\/curiousabout.glasgowsciencecentre.org\/the-human-body\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/02\/Screenshot-2022-02-21-at-10.38.37-224x300.png 224w, https:\/\/curiousabout.glasgowsciencecentre.org\/the-human-body\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/02\/Screenshot-2022-02-21-at-10.38.37-320x428.png 320w, https:\/\/curiousabout.glasgowsciencecentre.org\/the-human-body\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/02\/Screenshot-2022-02-21-at-10.38.37-480x642.png 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 561px) 100vw, 561px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong>Lauren Church  \u2013 King&#8217;s College London<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lauren Church is a final year medical student at King&#8217;s College London.
