AUTHOR

Joan has for many years researched, published and given presentations to students, scientists and engineers on how the brain manages stress, as well as what space has taught us about the importance of gravity to health and aging on Earth. After sharing this emerging knowledge more widely through public speaking, she was asked for reading material for a broader audience and application to everyday life.  Her books include:
