About the Guest:
Shrushti S. Patil, a fervent Space Microbiologist from India, is currently making her mark at ResearchSat Pty Ltd. Her path is a testament to the transformative power of curiosity and the relentless pursuit of dreams. Beginning her career with a focus on Environmental Science and Biodiversity, she dove into the study of diatoms, aiming to protect Earth’s intricate life balance. Yet, her curiosity soon soared into the cosmos, leading her to pivot towards Space Life Science research. This transition saw her amassing expertise in Life Science Research, Remote Sensing, GIS, GNSS, and Astrobiology. At ResearchSat, Shrushti is pioneering the design and execution of Life Science Experiments in Microgravity conditions, using CubeSats. Collaborating with some of the most brilliant minds in the field, she’s delving into the complexities of space life, its impact on human health, and the intriguing prospect of life beyond Earth. Beyond her research, Shrushti is an ardent advocate for the dissemination of space science knowledge and promoting gender diversity within the sector. She is the curator of a LinkedIn newsletter, “Gravity and Beyond,” through which she shares critical insights into space science. Additionally, she recently founded the “She In Space Community,” aimed at empowering women and fostering inclusivity in the space sector. Shrushti invites us all to join her on this extraordinary journey as we explore the limits of Space Life Science together.
