Two Americans, Susan Clark and Kristin Rhodes from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the College of William & Mary will soon be coming to China for five weeks in order to work with Team Selene. In preparation for Team Selene's CubeSat launch, these two physics majors have been focusing on tiny Tardigrades -- microscopic animals often referred to as "water bears" -- by performing experiments at Dr. Bob Goldstein's lab at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Their research involves running simulations of Tardigrades growth in different media. This May, a month prior to their trip to Shanghai, both will head to Italy where they will continue their work with two leading researchers, Dr. Lorena Rebecchi and Dr. Roberto Bertolani, at the Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia in Modena.
