On February 27th, the Archaeological Institute of America’s (AIA) Washington DC Society will be sponsoring an archaeological talk titled “The Past of the Future / The Future of the Past: Stories from the Archaeology of a Space Station.”
Professor Justin Walsh from Chapman University and the University of South Carolina has co-directed the first full-scale archaeological investigation of a site in space, in this case the International Space Station (ISS). He will share aspects of this work as well as discuss how social science disciplines like archaeology can be useless tool for improving life on Earth and in space.
It is nice to see scientific discussions about NASA programs are still underway in this uncertain environment. We are lucky to have so many private groups like AIA to encourage and host such events.
The event starts at 7pm at the University of Maryland. It is free and open to the public. You can learn more about the event at this link.
