‘From the Lab to the International Space Station: The Persistent Effects of Sleep Loss on Human Neurobehavioral Functions’ – June 14

Christopher Jones, PhD — Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine — will be visiting WSU Spokane for the SPRC Seminar Series. His seminar entitled “From the Laboratory to the International Space Station: The Persistent Effects of Sleep Loss on Human Neurobehavioral Functions” will be in person in the Spokane Academic Center room 347 and through Zoom on Tuesday, June 14, 12:10–1 p.m.

Dr. Jones received his PhD in Neuroscience from the Tulane Brain Institute at Tulane University in 2019 and then began his postdoctoral work at UPenn.

Dr. Jones has contributed to both laboratory and field studies of sleep, including studies of astronauts aboard the International Space Station and most recently, a laboratory study to examine the feasibility of auditory brain stimulation during sleep as one strategy to promote sleep in astronauts during spaceflight. Dr. Jones has published 16 peer-reviewed articles and acts as an ad-hoc reviewer for many scientific journals.

We look forward to you joining us in person (SAC 347) or through Zoom!
