Published August 16th, 2011
The space shuttle has landed for the final time.
That doesn't mean, however, an end to scientific experiments being conducted in space.
One research team from UF took advantage of the final two flights of the shuttle program to conduct a unique experiment...on squid.
In the Technology Spotlight, Jamie Foster, Ph.D., an Assistant Professor of Microbiology and Cell Science at UF--stationed at the Kennedy Space Center--explains to TV 20's David Snyder why squid were chosen for these experiments.
