HMP Research Station Status Report

Evening Lecture
copyright 2008 Mars Institute
There were patches of crunchy snow on the ground when we stepped out of our tents this morning. It snowed all day, and was even a bit chilly for the seasoned traversers. Gordon "Oz" Osinski (UWO) and his students, Alaura Sigleton, Simon Auclair and Laura Thomson did some sampling, along with Tom Lamarche (CSA), Tim Barfoot (PI, University of Toronto) and Paul Furgale (University of Toronto) who took Lidar scans. Charles Cockell (Open University) helped Perry Johnson-Green (CSA) with some sampling of plants on a separate traverse.

Back at the Research Station, Dr. Jean-Marc Comtois (Head, Operational Space Medicine, CSA) and Dr. Christian Otto (University of Ottawa) worked on surgical telementoring. Of course it was mock surgery, using a life-like model of organs and tissue. John Schutt (HMP Base Camp Manager) gave an amazing evening lecture titled "Meteorites and Ice: The Connection" which made us even colder, seeing his many adventures in the Antarctic.
