Dr. Erin Flynn-Evans interviewed by BMJ Podcast
(May 10, 2019)
In April, 2019, Dr. Erin Flynn-Evans was interviewed on a BMJ podcast episode called "Surviving the Night Shift" to discuss how best practices for fatigue risk management in aviation and spaceflight can be applied to help medical doctors stay alert during night shifts.

The podcast episode covers a number of topics relating to fatigue, alertness and performance, particularly with doctors who are new to the night shift. Listen to the podcast to learn more about why nights shifts affect your brain, how astronauts might cope with the time difference on Mars, and the power of frozen grapes when you need a boost. During the segment, Dr. Flynn-Evans talks about the challenges that will be faced by astronauts on extended duration missions to the moon and Mars. Dr. Flynn-Evans is the Principal Investigator of the Fatigue Countermeasures Laboratory in the Human Systems Integration Division.
