Aunon was selected by NASA in 2009. Board certified in Internal and Aerospace Medicine, she recently served as Flight Engineer on the International Space Station for Expeditions 56 and 57. During her time on orbit, the crews contributed to hundreds of experiments in biology, biotechnology, physical science and Earth science aboard the International Space Station. Investigations were led into new cancer treatment methods and algae growth in space. The crew also installed a new Life Sciences Glovebox, a sealed work area for life science and technology investigations that can accommodate two astronauts. Serena’s first flight, she logged in 197 days in space. She currently covers medical issues and on-orbit support in the Astronaut Office. Personal Data: Born April 9, 1976 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Considers Fort Collins, CO, to be her home town. Married to Jeff Chancellor and she has a stepdaughter, Serafina Chancellor. Personal and recreational interests include mountain hiking and providing medical care to the underserved. Education: Graduated from Poudre High School, Fort Collins, Colorado in 1993. Received a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from The George Washington University, Washington, D.C., in 1997 and a Doctorate of Medicine from The University of Texas - Health Science Center at Houston in 2001.

Photograph of the Momotombo Volcano taken on July 10, 2018. This active stratovolcano is located in western Nicaragua and was described as “the smoking terror” in 1902. The geothermal field that surrounds this volcano creates ideal conditions to produce thermal renewable energy. c. Photograph of the Betsiboka River Delta in Madagascar taken on June 29, 2018. This river is comprised of interwoven channels carrying sediment from the mountains into Bombetoka Bay and the Mozambique Channel. The heavy islands of built-up sediment were formed as a result of heavy deforestation on Madagascar since the 1950s. 2 The Lab is Open Orbiting the Earth at almost 5 miles per second, a structure exists that is nearly the size of a football field and weighs almost a million pounds. The International Space Station (ISS) is a testament to international cooperation and significant achievements in engineering. Beyond all of this, the ISS is a truly unique research platform. The possibilities of what can be discovered by conducting research on the ISS are endless and have the potential to contribute to the greater good of life on Earth and inspire generations of researchers to come.

  • Session Highlights
    March 16, 2018 The Caller Christian Community Presbyterian Church Newsletter There are two very interesting conversations in Christian circles I could eagerly share with you this month. One is the European Catholics grappling with various translations to the Lord’s Prayer. You might think the prayer Jesus gave his disciples 200 years ago would be above controversy. Yet, the Spanish, French, and the Italian Catholic’s are changing the sixth petition: “Do not submit us to temptation” to “Let us not enter into temptation.” Pope Francis, who is at odds with Vatican theologians, agrees with the change, saying, “A father does not push someone into temptation.” I also wanted to comment on the passing of Billy Graham, who Martin Marty said in 2013, would be with Jonathan Edwards and Martin Luther King Jr, part of the Mount Rushmore of American religious history. Instead I decided to share more local concerns. The Session has been very busy with important leadership duties during the past two months. Since some of you are interested in process, “how the sausage is made.” To catch you up on what we have been working on, I had our Clerk, Amy Littlefield, write up some extended Session highlights. It is joy to serve with you, James Brassard Session Highlights for February & March 2018 Mexico Mission Trip Justin reported that the July mission trip to Mexico now has 30 people (youth and adults) signed up to go at this time. Besides Scrip sales, the youth will be conducting several other fundraising opportunities, The Mission council will consider a congregation-wide appeal for support.

Beginning in 1993, the international community came together to develop the medical systems for an international space station. Initially, this collaboration was bilateral in support of the Shuttle / Mir Space Station (Phase 1). However, the framework that was established to serve as the medical authority structure provided a foundation for the multilateral boards and panel, which were codified in the memoranda of understanding. The Multilateral Medical Policy Board, the Multilateral Space Medicine Board and the Multilateral Medical Operations Panel were developed in a collegial and mutually- beneficial environment by the men and women of the space agenicies of Canada, Europe, Japan, Russia, and the United States.

Afghan Wars, Oriental Carpets, and Globalization Abstract The afghan war rugs on exhibit at the Penn Museum from April 30 to July 31, 2011, raise a number of interesting questions—about carpets, Afghanistan, and the way the world as a whole is changing. These rugs, which come in a variety of sizes and qualities, derive from a tradition of oriental carpet-weaving that began to attract the attention of Western rug collectors in the late 19th century. Unlike the classic museum pieces that were produced on vertical looms in the cities of western Asia for use in palaces and grand houses, war rugs came from horizontal looms in small tribal communities of Turkmen and Baloch in the areas of central Asia on either side of the northern border of Afghanistan—tribal communities that were incorporated into the Russian Empire in the 19th century.
