NASA Spaceline Current Awareness List #1,075 –  17 November 2023 (Space Life Science Research Results)
Biofilms are thin, slimy films of bacteria that adhere to surfaces. NASA sent a study to the International Space Station on @SpaceX #CRS29 to find out how these biofilms behave in space. — NASA

SPACELINE Current Awareness Lists are distributed via listserv and are available on the NASA Task Book website at https://taskbook.nasaprs.com/Publication/spaceline.cfm. Please send any correspondence to Shawna Byrd, SPACELINE Current Awareness Senior Editor, [email protected].

Call for articles to cite in the weekly lists: Authors at NASA Centers and NASA PIs—do you have an article that has recently published or will publish in the upcoming weeks within a peer-reviewed journal and is in the scope of space life sciences? If so, send it our way! Send your article to the email address mentioned above. Articles received by Wednesday will appear within that week’s list—articles received after Wednesday will appear the following week.
