The OffWorldly Podcast #3 - Dr. Devon Lundine, Space Radiation & Biology

In Episode 3 of the OffWorldly Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Devon Lundine to unpack one of the most under-discussed constraints on deep space travel: how radiation affects the human body, and what biology can do about it. Devon is a postdoctoral research fellow at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, with a background spanning cancer biology and DNA repair. His work examines how cells respond to damage and how this research can inform radioprotection strategies for astronauts on long-duration missions. We explore how space radiation differs from what we encounter on Earth, why DNA repair sits at the center of both cancer research and astronaut health, and what breakthroughs (and unknowns) will shape the future of safer human exploration beyond low Earth orbit. If you’re curious about the intersection of space, biology, and the next era of human spaceflight, this one’s for you. 🔗 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐝: 𝐍𝐀𝐒𝐀 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦: https://science.nasa.gov/biological-physic... “𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐦𝐨𝐬” (𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞): https://www.nature.com/articles/s41526-025...
