Captain Kelly will recount the challenges that he and his crew faced on his four missions to space, and what helped him overcome obstacles, especially as pertains to the importance of maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in the most critical of controlled environments.
With humor and an engineer’s eye for detail, Captain Kelly will divulge the extreme dangers in space: the isolation, physical impact on the body and hazards associated with living and working closely in a small cabin while orbiting the earth hundreds of miles above us in the International Space Station. No matter what kind of journey we are facing, Captain Kelly details how courage and preparation can mean the difference between life and death, or success and failure for a team in a critical, confined space.
There are a lot of unknowns in the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Questions like what should I be considering when disinfecting? Do I need to consider a different type of product?

Contec’s President, Avi Lawrence, will lead a panel of experts during the summit for a :30- minute discussion based on the article Life Science Industry to Face New World Post COVID-19.
