On this edition of Conversations from Studio B, Tom Hodson talks with Dr. Lori Ploutz-Snyder, project scientist at NASA's Johnson Space Center and a graduate of the Honors Tutorial College at Ohio University.

The pair discuss the physiological barriers to long-duration space flight, preparing astronauts for space travel and on-board nutrition and exercise, among other topics.

Ploutz-Snyder, an Athens native, was in town to give a talk as part of the Ellery Golos Lecture Series.
