Can plants grow on the surface of the moon? 🌛 🚀 NASA's 2026 Artemis III mission will send humans to the moon with a payload of plant experiments, developed with the help of lewsey lab and @Plants4Space scientists. latrobe.edu.au/news/articles/…

And there's a written piece about the Artemis III lunar experiments our team are developing here. (The capsule will need to be somewhat smaller than that conviron chamber!)

La Trobe scientists are part of an international collaboration looking to grow and cultivate lunar-grown plants — as part of NASA's first trip to the moon in 50-years 🌔 brnw.ch/21wIwEi #SpaceScience lewsey lab NASA Artemis

1/2 NationalScienceWeek may still be 3 months away, but preparations are on in earnest! We're excited to share that La Trobe University is one of 9 national grant recipients in Victoria, allowing us to offer a 'Martian Garden' learning experience across 3 states in Science Week! Read on...⬇️

It's National #ScienceWeek! As always, there's a heap going on here in SABE La Trobe University, including the #MartianGarden - a public science project showing how humans might survive in new, extreme environments! Appearing in Bendigo, Melbourne, Shepparton & Albury-Wodonga (links below).

Looking forward to talking all things @Plants4Space on Sunday with Dr Shane Huntington OAM!
