UBC researcher shortlisted for trip to space:
Allyson Hindle (on the right) has been shortlisted for the Canadian Space Agency’s National Astronaut Recruitment Campaign.

Hindle has worked since 2008 in a joint research program on the magnitude of the population decline of Steller sea lions. The program is a partnership between the Vancouver Aquarium and UBC’s Marine Mammal Research Unit, according to a Vancouver Aquariumnews release.

Hindle is studying the diving behaviour of Steller sea lions at the Open Water Research Station near Port Moody and her expertise in the physiology of animals living in extreme environments may inform the study of the physiology of space travel.

Men Rejoice!! Robot Girlfriends are just around the corner. Soon! Soon my brothers, we will not need biological women at all. The day of freedom is nigh! Freedom! FREEDOM!!!!!
