Harlow will explain how knowledge about how these and other animals live in challenging environments can be applied to such things as post-traumatic stress disorder in combat-stressed veterans, long distance space travel, prolonged confinement to a hospital bed and acute kidney failure.

Since 1993, he has been an effective ambassador for UW, helping make the center a significant center for research and community outreach.
