Hello Dr. Bailey! I hadn't heard of this experiment before, and it sounds fascinating. In your answers thus far, you've stated your hypothesis that the telomere lengths of the two twins could change due to different stress levels. Alongside the genetics-based research, are there any plans for some psychological analysis before, during, or after the Space Twin takes off? While psychology can sometimes be biased, the comparison between reported stress levels and telomere length might be interesting.
