Regulatory Biology: Depressed Metabolic States; Meeting of October 18-20, 1971, at National Aeronautics and Space Administration Wallops Station, Wallops Island, VA

A group composed of NASA Life Scientists and NASA grantees concerned with regulatory biology (depressed metabolism) met at Wallops Station to discuss some aspects of space biology for future NASA missions. Each grantee presented his findings to date under NASA sponsorship. Questions addressed were: What have we done?; What are we doing?; and, Where are we going? This meeting marked the establishment of a consortium of life scientists dedicated to establishing Earth-based information for the definition and subsequent development of a space flight experiment utilizing small mammalian species.
