The European Space Association is looking for European women to volunteer for WISE bed-rest study in Toulouse next year. WISE will need 24 female test subjects to remain in bed, slightly tilted head down at six degrees below the horizontal, for a total of 60 days. This serves to simulate the physiological effects of an extended period in weightlessness as experienced by astronauts. The study will assess the roles of nutrition and physical exercise in countering the adverse effects of prolonged gravitational unloading during bed-rest. The woman have to be between the ages of 25 and 40, non-smokers and non-obese. At the end of the experiment they will get 15 thousand euro. (more)(via)
Hmmm, sounds interesting… I meet all the criteria, I have nothing to do, and I could use the money… Too bad that the experiment starts on MyLove’s birthday. Damn, now I can’t participate…
