Our patients spent World Space Week learning from people who know a thing or two about space. 🚀
Here’s who stopped by Seacrest Studios at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt:
🌟
@ashleyeckstein, the voice of Ahsoka Tano in “Star Wars”
🌟 Child life intern Katie, granddaughter of Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell
🌟 Author
@alliedavis2213, who read “Clara and the Constellations” before patients made constellations of their own
🌟 Vanderbilt Health cardiologist and Blue Origin astronaut
@drejahangir, the first Nashvillian in space
🌟 NASA Volunteer Solar System Ambassador Russell Orr, who showed patients how light and color help scientists study space
Thank you to all of our guests for making this week so special. Squid approves.
