At the International Conference on Radiation Research 2023 held in Montréal, Canada, I had the incredible opportunity to attend a talk by NASA astronaut Christopher L. Williams. His journey from a medical physics researcher to an astronaut was truly inspiring. Christopher shared insights into his career progression and his ongoing rigorous preparation with the NASA team for upcoming space missions.
Listening to his experiences was really exciting, and his humility during the talk. At the end of his talk. I had the privilege of meeting him personally and congratulating him on his achievements. I also took the chance to ask him about his views on alien life and his potential reaction to encountering extraterrestrial beings. His responses were fascinating and thought-provoking.
Overall, meeting Christopher L. Williams was an enriching experience during my participation in the conference.
