The future of inclusive spaceflight
This event is part of the Royal Society's Summer Science Exhibition 2025.
Join Dr Irene Di Giulio, biomedical engineer and senior lecturer at King’s College London, for a fascinating exploration of how the brain controls movement — and what happens when the rules of gravity change.
Blending science, engineering, and space, she’ll dive into her research on movement and neuromuscular disorders and how she works to develop tools and technologies to support those affected. Dr Di Giulio will also share an exciting new hypothesis about astronauts with physical and sensory disabilities.
