My uncle, Dr. Robert Johnsen is headed to Cape Canaveral to pick up some worms he and his colleagues sent into space. Bob is a genetic biologist at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, BC. They are studying generational effects of space radiation, and since the worms multiply so quickly, they can easily study the 28th generation of the original worms sent to space months ago.
