On Episode 174 of This Week In Space, Rod Pyle and and Tariq Malik are joined by Lynn Harper to discuss some of the amazing research taking place aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

The ISS has been serving as a major research center in space for over 25 years, but its time is coming to an end with a planned deorbit in 2030. Should we end this expensive experiment in space, or are we squandering a $150 billion resource? Dr. Harper, the Lead for Integrative Studies at the NASA Ames Space Portal, joins us to talk about the promising work done on cancer treatments, the growth of replacement retinas and the potential breakthroughs for treating Alzheimer's disease. These and many more are the focus of our conversation.
