NASA astronaut Mike Hopkins, recently returned from living and working aboard the International Space Station, will give a presentation Tuesday, June 10, at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland.

Hopkins will give a presentation at 12:30 p.m. about his mission and the research conducted aboard the space station, and answer questions from the audience at NIH. The presentation event will be held in the Lipsett Amphitheater.
