Join Science Friday Educate on Wednesday October 8, 1:15 ET / 10:15 am PT for another exciting Down To Earth Mission Control Live event!

Due to the ongoing federal government shutdown, our scheduled guest, NASA scientist Dr. Gioia Massa, is unable to join us for Wednesday's livestream. But don't worry—we're still going live!

Join Sandy Roberts, SciFri's Education Manager for a special presentation where you'll:
* Discover the incredible science happening aboard the International Space Station
* Explore how ISS research benefits life on Earth—from medical breakthroughs to climate monitoring

We're working to reschedule Dr. Massa's session on growing food in space as soon as possible.
