Join OSMED on June 30, 2026 at 11:00 AM ET for a public Member Highlight hosted by Phnam Bagley, Project Lead of Orbital Hospital and co-founder of Nonfiction, featuring Dr. Laura Thomas, Chartered Psychologist, Human Performance Specialist, and Founder of Source Coherence.

This conversation will explore the future of human performance, adaptation, resilience, and decision-making in extreme and high-stakes environments. Phnam brings a design-driven perspective shaped by her work in space architecture, orbital habitats, neurotechnology, and breakthrough hardware for Earth and space. Dr. Thomas brings more than 15 years of experience supporting individuals and teams operating in complex conditions, including military personnel, analog astronaut crews, polar expedition teams, and senior leaders.

Together, they will discuss how humans think, respond, and adapt under pressure, and how insights from psychology, performance science, analog missions, and extreme environments can inform the future of human exploration and life beyond Earth.
