Endeavour Mission STS-126 Photos

Embryology researcher Justin Matthew examines a portion of a device that will carry three samples of just-fertilized bovine embryos into space aboard the space shuttle Endeavour, at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Fla., Thursday, Nov. 6, 2008. Matthew and fellow researcher Luciano Bonilla will prepare the embryos so that space’s effects on early-stage mammalian life can be studied.
