  • Dr. Craig Priest, (far left), Senior Research Fellow at the University of South Australia, experiences microgravity in NASA’s “Weightless Wonder” research aircraft. Priest was on board to test new Australian developed micro-structured electrodes for use in fuel-cell technologies. His collaboration with NASA evolved from his participation in several interagency meetings co-organized by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research and intended to develop and foster S&T relationships with Australian principal investigators. As a result of these same meetings, one of Priest’s students will soon be conducting research for a NASA center located at the University of Puerto Rico as part of a new international exchange program.
