Keynote Presentation

Tom Marshburn, MD, is an Emergency Medicine physician and former NASA astronaut. He is a veteran of three spaceflights to the International Space Station, and is one of the few humans in history to have flown on three different spacecraft, flying missions on the Space Shuttle, the Russian Soyuz, and the SpaceX Crew Dragon. He attended medical school at Wake Forest University, then completed his residency in Emergency Medicine in Toledo, OH, where he served as a Life Flight physician, treating critically ill patients in the field and transporting them to the hospital. Shortly thereafter, he was accepted into the inaugural class of the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston’s Space Medicine Fellowship.

Upon completion of the fellowship, Dr. Marshburn became a NASA flight surgeon, providing medical care to astronauts. During his time as a flight surgeon, Tom was assigned to the NASA-Mir program, with many extended tours of duty in Russia. In 2004 Dr. Marshburn was asked to join the NASA astronaut corps. Following his initial astronaut candidate training, he was assigned as a mission specialist to STS-127, a 16-day mission on the space shuttle Endeavour to the International Space Station, his first of three missions. Tom loves sharing his love for spaceflight, medicine, exploration and STEM with everyone. His enthusiasm and curiosity is infectious, enrapturing audiences, motivating them to push their own boundaries, instilling the belief that the sky is never the limit.
