October 7, 2005
CARROLLTON, GA - Johnathan Williams, a junior at the University of West Georgia, recently completed the 2005 NASA Spaceflight and Life Sciences Training Program (SLSTP) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
SLSTP is a highly competitive program for college undergraduates studying life sciences, physical sciences, mathematics, engineering and computer science. The intense six-week program offers an in-depth examination of Life Sciences research and flight operations.
Students participate in the conceptualization, design and execution of experiments dedicated to enabling human exploration of space, as well as the assessment of the environmental impacts of a launch site.
Williams also recently presented research in a lecture on Evaluating a Reusable Filter for Controlling VOCs in Plant Growth Chambers at the UWG lecture series for the World Year of Physics.
Williams is from Richmond Hill and is majoring in chemistry and physics at UWG.
