UCLA
Not sure how I got invited to UCLA Health's first space medicine salon, especially given how small the event was, but was very interesting to see Dr. Haig Aintablian, M.D., SpaceX Flight Surgeon and Director, UCLA Space Medicine Program, speak, along with all the other higher-ups in both medicine and engineering. The challenges of extended spaceflight have had decades and decades of study, yet to appreciate the challenges, opportunities, and solutions remaining were skillfully presented, both in hopes and in challenges.
I did not talk to more then a fraction of the guests, but I was probably the least-distinguished (aka: not distinguished at all by anyone or anywhere) person in attendance.
