Upcoming Events

Nutrition as Fuel for Human Space Flight


Event date: 5/7/2026 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM iCal Export

Seminar hosted by Dr Scott M. Smith

Dr. Smith is a leading expert in nutritional biochemistry for human spaceflight, with extensive work spanning astronaut health, rehabilitation, and performance under extreme physiological conditions. His seminar will provide a mechanistic and translational perspective on how nutrition supports human function in space and astronaut rehabilitation. Topics discussed have relevance across clinical nutrition, physiology, human performance, rehabilitation sciences, and research. The timing is particularly compelling given the ongoing NASA Artemis II mission, which has brought renewed attention to human space exploration and its biomedical challenges. Dr. Smith has ongoing research projects on the International Space Station and has flown projects on the space shuttle, space station, and Mir. Thus, attendees can expect interesting and unique stories from a career at NASA.

Dr. Smith will also meet with students on the morning of May 7 (8:15–9:50 AM). All students are welcome. If you are a student outside the Department of Nutritional Sciences and would like to attend the morning student session, please RSVP to Franklin-Hays@ou.edu or coordinate with your course/program faculty if this overlaps with scheduled coursework. For classes that would like to attend, instructors can RSVP to the email above. 

For those in Tulsa, a Zoom option is available via the link provided in the attached flyer. Colleagues outside the College of Allied Health are also welcome to attend.

We hope you will join us for what promises to be an engaging, novel, and broadly relevant seminar.
