Rob Ferl leads National Academies panel on future of space research
UF distinguished professor Rob Ferl, Ph.D., has spent his career working with NASA to understand what happens to Earth’s living organisms on the journey to space, so it has been particularly gratifying for him to co-chair a National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine committee that is charting the course for the next 10 years of biological and physical sciences research in space.
