## Resource

NASA astronaut Loral OHara, a proud University of Kansas alum, is back on Earth—and she’s bringing the cosmos down to campus. Having spent time aboard the International Space Station, including hands-on work in the Plant Habitat studying how tomatoes adapt genetically in zero gravity, OHara will share her awe-inspiring journey at “From Lawrence to Low Earth Orbit: An Evening with Loral OHara” on October 8. The event, part of KU’s “KU Reads” initiative featuring Samantha Harvey’s “Orbital,” will feature lively conversation, Q&A, and a livestream for all. It’s a rare chance to hear firsthand from someone who’s lived in space—and to explore what it means to be human among the stars.
