[50] She is a member of various scientific organizations, such as the American Medical Association, the American Chemical Society, the Association of Space Explorers and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. [27] Aboard the Spacelab Japan module, Jemison tested NASA's Fluid Therapy System, a set of procedures and equipment to produce water for injection, developed by Sterimatics Corporation. She then used IV bags and a mixing method, developed by Baxter Healthcare, to use the water from the previous step to produce saline solution in space. [40] Jemison was also a co-investigator of two bone cell research experiments. [24] Another experiment she participated in was to induce female frogs to ovulate, fertilize the eggs, and then see how tadpoles developed in zero gravity. [41] Resignation from NASA

Mae Among the Stars Hardcover – Picture Book, 9 Jan. 2018

Really, it’s probably only 2.5 stars. But I read it because my 8 year old wants to read it and I thought I should read first to make sure it’s not above her reading level. It’s not. Besides, Dr. Jamison says multiple times that “if you don’t know what that is look it up!” However, the editing mishaps (there are MANY punctuation, wording, and grammatical mistakes) and use of unnatural “big” words may make some things difficult for kids. I strongly suggest having a dictionary and medical dictionary nearby. University College Dublin Conferring Ceremony" (PDF). ucd.ie. September 4, 2023 . Retrieved September 4, 2023.
