From ER rooms to underwater habitats to the edge of space — Dr. Shawna Pandya is living proof that exploration is a full-contact sport. As Canada’s first named female commercial astronaut, she’s preparing to fly to space aboard Virgin Galactic’s Delta class spacecraft, while leading research in space medicine, suborbital physiology, and human resilience. In this episode, Joe and Dr. Pandya talk about balancing medicine, exploration, and curiosity — and how studying space might just make us better humans on Earth.
