Dr. Dawn Kernagis is a Research Scientist at the Institute for Human and
Machine Cognition, where she studies human performance optimization and risk
mitigation for operators in extreme environments, such as those working in
undersea diving, high altitude aviation, and space.
Dr. Kernagis completed her PhD at Duke University as ONR Undersea Medicine’s
first Predoctoral Award recipient. Prior to her research career, Dawn was a
diver and leader of numerous underwater exploration, research, and conservation
projects around the world since 1993, including the deep underwater exploration
of Wakulla Springs Cave and surrounding caves for over a decade. Based on her
extensive underwater exploration, mentorship, and research experience in the
diving community, she was selected as an inductee into the Women Divers Hall of
Fame, Class of 2016.
Talk:
NEEMO 21 Mission: Going Undersea to get to Outerspace
NEEMO is a NASA mission that sends groups of astronauts, engineers and
scientists to live in Aquarius, the world’s only undersea research station. The
Aquarius habitat and its surroundings provide a convincing analog for space
exploration and for testing emerging technology and protocol for long duration
space operations. This summer, Dawn Kernagis had the opportunity to join NEEMO
as both a crew member and a researcher, living underwater for 8 days with 5
other crew members. Dawn will provide an overview of the NEEMO 21 mission,
including the crew’s training, experience of living and working underwater, and
over a dozen mission objectives ranging from telemedicine to robotics to
genetics.

Talk:
Changing the world - one dive at a time! The ocean remains our largest, least
understood, least protected and most exciting ecosystem. All divers should
celebrate the recent ocean protection successes, because it’s by being active
divers who are tuned in to global issues, that we form the ocean constituency.
Paul shares his passion for the sea, his work and the illuminating behind the
scenes stories of making it happen!
