Early life
Dunbar was born in Sunnyside, Washington. In 1967, she graduated from Sunnyside High School, Sunnyside, Washington. Following graduation in 1971 from the University of Washington, Dunbar worked for Boeing Computer Services for two years as a systems analyst. From 1973 to 1975, she conducted research for her master's thesis in the field of mechanisms and kinetics of ionic diffusion in sodium beta-alumina. She is a member of Kappa Delta sorority.
In 1975, she was invited to participate in research at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Harwell near Oxford, England, as a visiting scientist. Her work there involved the wetting behavior of liquids on solid substrates. Following her work in England, she accepted a senior research engineer position with Rockwell International Space Division in Downey, California. Her responsibilities there included developing equipment and processes for the manufacture of the Space Shuttle thermal protection system in Palmdale, California. She also represented Rockwell International as a member of the Dr. Kraft Ehricke evaluation committee on prospective space industrialization concepts. Dunbar completed her doctorate at the University of Houston in Houston, Texas. Her multi-disciplinary dissertation (materials science and physiology) involved evaluating the effects of simulated space flight on bone strength and fracture toughness. These results were correlated to alterations in hormonal and metabolic activity. Dr. Dunbar has served as an adjunct assistant professor in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Houston.
Dunbar is a private pilot with over 200 hours in single engine land aircraft, has logged more than 700 hours flying time in T-38 jets as a back-seater, and has over 100 hours as co-pilot in a Cessna Citation jet. She was married to fellow astronaut Ronald M. Sega.[2]
NASA career
Dunbar accepted a position as a payload officer/flight controller at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in 1978. She served as a guidance and navigation officer/flight controller for the Skylab reentry mission in 1979 and was subsequently designated project officer/payload officer for the integration of several Space Shuttle payloads.[3][4]
Dunbar became a NASA astronaut in August 1981. Her technical assignments have included assisting in the verification of Shuttle flight software at the Shuttle Avionics Integration Laboratory (SAIL), serving as a member of the Flight Crew Equipment Control Board, participation as a member of the Astronaut Office Science Support Group, supporting operational development of the remote manipulator system (RMS). She has served as chief of the Mission Development Branch, as the Astronaut Office interface for "secondary" payloads, and as lead for the Science Support Group. In 1993, Dr. Dunbar served as Deputy Associate Administrator, Office of Life and Microgravity Sciences, NASA Headquarters, Washington, D.C. In February 1994, she traveled to Star City, Russia, where she spent 13-months training as a back-up crew member for a 3-month flight on the Russian Space Station, Mir. In March 1995, she was certified by the Russian Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center as qualified to fly on long duration Mir Space Station flights. From October 1995 to November 1996, she was detailed to the NASA JSC Mission Operations Directorate as Assistant Director where she was responsible for chairing the International Space Station Training Readiness Reviews, and facilitating Russian/American operations and training strategies.
A veteran of five space flights, Dunbar has logged more than 1,208 hours (50 days) in space. She served as a mission specialist on STS-61-A in 1985, STS-32 in 1990, and STS-71 in 1995, and was the Payload Commander on STS-50 in 1992, and STS-89 in 1998.
Spaceflight experience
STS-61-A Challenger (October 30-November 6, 1985), was the West German D-1 Spacelab mission. It was the first to carry eight crew members, the largest to fly in space, and was also the first in which payload activities were controlled from outside the United States. More than 75 scientific experiments were completed in the areas of physiological sciences, materials science, biology, and navigation. During the flight, Dunbar was responsible for operating Spacelab and its subsystems and performing a variety of experiments. Her mission training included six months of experiment training in Germany, France, Switzerland, and The Netherlands. STS-61-A launched from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, and returned to land at Edwards Air Force Base, California. Mission duration was 7 days, 44 minutes 51 seconds, traveling 2.5 million miles in 111 orbits of the Earth.
STS-32 Columbia (January 9–20, 1990), launched from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, and returned to a night landing at Edwards Air Base in California. During the flight, the crew successfully deployed the Syncom IV-F5 satellite, and retrieved the 21,400-pound Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) using the RMS. They also operated a variety of middeck experiments including the Microgravity Disturbance Experiment (MDE) using the Fluids Experiment Apparatus (FEA), Protein Crystal Growth (PCG), American Flight Echocardiograph (AFE), Latitude/Longitude Locator (L3), Mesoscale Lightning Experiment (MLE), Characterization of Neurospora Circadian Rhythms (CNCR), and the IMAX Camera. Dunbar was principal investigator for the MDE/FEA Experiment. Additionally, numerous medical test objectives, including in-flight lower body negative pressure (LBNP), in-flight aerobic exercise and muscle performance were conducted to evaluate human adaptation to extended duration missions. Mission duration was 10 days, 21 hours, 01 minute, 38 seconds, traveling 4.5 million miles in 173 orbits of the Earth.
STS-50 Columbia (June 25 to July 9, 1992). Dunbar was the Payload Commander on STS-50, the United States Microgravity Lab-1 mission which was dedicated to microgravity fluid physics and materials science. Over 30 experiments sponsored by over 100 investigators were housed in the Spacelab in the Shuttle's Payload Bay. A payload crew of four operated around-the-clock for 13 days performing experiments in scientific disciplines such as protein crystal growth, electronic and infrared detector crystal growth, surface tension physics, zeolite crystal growth, and human physiology. Mission duration was 13 days, 19 hours, 30 minutes and 4 seconds, traveling 5.7 million miles in 221 orbits of the Earth.
STS-71 Atlantis (June 27 to July 7, 1995), was the first Space Shuttle mission to dock with the Russian Space Station Mir, and involved an exchange of crews. The Atlantis was modified to carry a docking system compatible with the Russian Mir Space Station. Dunbar served as MS-3 on this flight which also carried a Spacelab module in the payload bay in which the crew performed medical evaluations on the returning Mir crew. These evaluations included ascertaining the effects of weightlessness on the cardio/vascular system, the bone/muscle system, the immune system, and the cardio/pulmonary system. Mission duration was 9 days, 19 hours, 23 minutes and 8 seconds, traveling 4.1 million miles in 153 orbits of the earth.
STS-89 Endeavour (January 22–31, 1998), was the eighth Shuttle-Mir docking mission during which the crew transferred more than 9,000 pounds of scientific equipment, logistical hardware and water from Space Shuttle Endeavour to Mir. In the fifth and last exchange of a U.S. astronaut, STS-89 delivered Andy Thomas to Mir and returned with David Wolf. Mission duration was 8 days, 19 hours and 47 seconds, traveling 3.6 million miles in 138 orbits of the Earth. Dunbar was the Payload Commander, responsible for all payload activities including the conduct of 23 technology and science experiments.

Graduated Cum Laude from the University of Washington in 1975
Took on a natural pool called "the hexagons pool" for the shapes of the rocks. I found the people in it much more interesting.
I was walking home. There was a squirrel blocking
the sidewalk, eating a nut. I thought it was a nut
but when I got closer I wasn’t sure. The squirrel
wasn’t moving, that was sure. It raised up on its
hind legs and stared at me. I stared back. It looked
like someone I once knew. This woman I’d taken
to a movie. Superman. She said she liked guys
in tight pants. I bought her M&Ms and a Coke.
She had a brother named Roy who was a dork.
This squirrel wasn’t moving and I needed to get home
but I didn’t feel like crossing the street to avoid a squirrel.
So we just stood there, thinking our private thoughts.
Then I noticed a house with this big window and inside
was a woman reading a book to a child. It looked like
something in a movie, one of those movies where you
know terrible things are going to happen to these people
no matter what anybody does. You’re just waiting to see
what the terrible things are, how much blood there’s going
to be, if somebody’s head is going to come off,
if legs will be separated from bodies and if maggots
will be shown having lunch on the remains. You
know revenge is going to be taken and maybe
a tough cop will try to prevent mayhem
but will be too late and a woman cop will also
get decapitated right after she and the tough cop
have good sex. I wondered about this woman
and the little girl. I wondered about this squirrel.
Soon I’d have to do something,
something I might regret at a later date. But
I knew one thing: I wasn’t going anywhere
till things became clear. Like what it was
this squirrel was eating and why it was eating it,
what was its business on this street in front
of this woman’s house, was there a disease
circulating among the squirrel population
of our town causing odd, possibly rabid behavior
in squirrels, what book was the woman reading
to the little girl, what was the girl looking at
while her mother read the book,
if there was a man of the house where
was he while his wife and child were
possibly in grave danger, and who
was that coming up behind me,
carrying what.
Despite the kinda "odd" name, the Odd Fellows seem like a pretty decent fraternal organization.

Primary School students were rewarded for all their positive behavior with a special event with Luau Relay Races.
This is a question that a lot of people have. The answer is yes, but it definitely is a way to understand that #cannabis does affect it, but you can minimize the negative effects.
Memory in It’s core
We have two #types of #memory, and this is #unconscious and #conscious, which is where you tackle #decisions that you need to think about, but it’s reliable, and then unconscious, automatic #responses.
Memory does rely on both of these, but the memories in the second system are more live, and usually, those are the ones that we interact with, and that affects the short-term memory.
Short Term Effects of Cannabis and Memory
Anyone who uses cannabis is probably aware that it does affect the short-term memory, so you might not really remember most of it.
There is the motor memory, which is impacted too, since a lot of people are affected and slower by this.
That is why a lot of people should not drive or operate anything while high. This is slightly worrisome since it can have detrimental effects.
What about learning?
While cannabis does affect your short-term memory, it was found that of course, it definitely doesn’t affect the long-term. It can, however, not be good if you’re thinking about trying to remember stuff early on, or if you’re trying to recall it.
Working memory is basically that memory that processes everything in real time and helps you build the connections and patterns. With this one, the findings weren’t consistent, but there is some data that says that it can have adverse effects on this. One was found that there was a significant decline after consuming #THC.
This is linked to the immediate actions though, rather than your long-term memory.
For verbal memory, that and #non-verbal are impacted by this, since sometimes they struggle to keep track of the conversation, and it can be linked to the immediate recall of things.
As for emotional memory, sometimes it does get affected, and it may not be impeded too. Sometimes, some people may not recognize the negative #emotions, and it can be hampered, but not as dramatic as the others.
Spatial memory is the details of where the immediate environment is. This one is also affected by the #consumption of cannabis, and it can be negatively affected.
Finally, attention control is another thing that can be negatively affected, and it can be impacted by the use of cannabis.
The long Term
While it can wreak havoc on the short term, as for the long term, it’s a bit more robust.
Typically, once the memories are embedded, you’ll be able to remember that. But if you’re consistently hitting your short-term memory and making it worse, this will make it harder for the long term memory.
It’s harder to pin down the effects of long-term cannabis use, and for a lot of people, assessing this can definitely be hard to do.
It definitely does affect the short term for sure, but it may be long term in effects. For people that smoke every day for about two decades, you are going to have long-term effects from this.
So if you’re smoking a bowel constantly and then trying to do things, you’re not going to remember a lot.
The best solution for this is to take cannabis breaks every now and then, in order to repair the memory that you have. This is possible to reverse, and it can help your #brain properly put everything together, so if you’re worried about destroying your memory banks and systems, this is a way to fix it.
I tried to tell her that her position was a little obscene but she didn't care. She just wanted me to shut up and rub her chest. She reminds me of a toad in this :)
Since about ninth grade I have had one tune pop in my head every time I see a red door - The Rolling Stones song "Paint It Black":
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens every day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls go by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm,...
I wanna see it tainted, tainted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it tainted, tainted, tainted, tainted black
Yeah!
Hmm, hmm, hmm,...
et couraient le risque d’être précipités dans le fleuve.
Borderline personality disorder and border fantasies
Manipulative behavior to obtain nurturance is considered by the DSM-IV-TR and many mental health professionals to be a defining characteristic of borderline personality disorder.[150] However, Marsha Linehan notes that doing so relies upon the assumption that people with BPD who communicate intense pain, or who engage in self-harm and suicidal behavior, do so with the intention of influencing the behavior of others.[151] The impact of such behavior on others – often an intense emotional reaction in concerned friends, family members, and therapists – is thus assumed to have been the person's intention.[151]
However, since people with BPD lack the ability to successfully manage painful emotions and interpersonal challenges, their frequent expressions of intense pain, self-harming, or suicidal behavior may instead represent a method of mood regulation or an escape mechanism from situations that feel unbearable.[152] Linehan notes that if, for example, one were to withhold pain medication from burn victims and cancer patients, leaving them unable to regulate their severe pain, they would also exhibit "attention-seeking" and self-destructive behavior in order to cope.[153]
Ophiomorpha burrows in subtidal fossiliferous aragonitic limestones (Cockburn Town Member, Grotto Beach Formation, lower Upper Pleistocene, 114-127 k.y.) at Ophiomorpha Bay, Cockburn Town Fossil Reef, western margin of San Salvador Island, eastern Bahamas.
Trace fossils are indirect evidence of ancient life. They are structures representing the behavior of ancient organisms. Terrestrial traces are moderately common in the Quaternary limestones of San Salvador Island (& elsewhere in the Bahamas). The marine facies also have trace fossils.
Ophiomorpha is a moderately large, curvilinear, subcylindrical burrow having a externally pelleted lining that is constructed below the seafloor by callianassid shrimp (life.bio.sunysb.edu/marinebio/soft_05.jpg). Differential weathering and erosion often results in empty Ophiomorpha tubes (intraburrow porosity) and significant interburrow porosity. For more info. on this, see below (= my personal notes from a talk presented by Al Curran).

"Macroporosity and Permeability Related to Callianassid Bioturbation and Ophiomorpha Ichnofabric in Pleistocene Shallow-Marine Carbonates: Examples from the Bahamas and South Florida"
Al Curran (Department of Geosciences, Smith College, Northampton, Massachusetts, USA)
Presented 18 June 2010 at the 15th Symposium on the Geology of the Bahamas and Other Carbonate Regions, Gerace Research Centre, San Salvador Island, Bahamas
Looking at callianassid bioturbation & Ophiomorpha ichnofabric & environments conducive to callianassid habitation.
Ophiomorpha consists of branching, lined burrows - the tubes are smooth on the interior and distinctly pelletted on the outside. Callianassid shrimp (life.bio.sunysb.edu/marinebio/soft_05.jpg) construct the lining. Ophiomorpha burrows can go quite deep. This ichnogenus goes back to the Middle Jurassic. The burrow is the habitation location for the shrimp - it hardly ever goes out after the larval stage.
Ophiomorpha architecture varies - shafts, tiered mazes, irregular boxworks. Shaft Ophiomorpha architecture is not found in the Bahamas or in carbonates.
Callianassids are decapod crustaceans (Thalassinidea). There are 155 living species of Family Callianassidae. Actually, there are now >200 species.
Callianassids are part of the marine benthos - they are mostly burrowers. They are gone north of Myrtle Beach. There’s a high number of species in the tropics. 95% of callianassids are intertidal to shallow marine.
Ichnofabric - all aspects of texture & internal structure of sediments from bioturbation.
Glypturus acanthocinus Stimpson, 1866 is the callianassid shrimp seen on San Salvador Island. This is the callianassid species that makes the mounded topography seen in Pigeon Creek in southeastern San Salvador Island, Bahamas - biogenic topography. Glypturus acanthocinus is an ecosystem engineer - it lives 1 to 1.5 m below the substrate. It’s hard to catch.
Glypturus acanthocinus burrow architecture - a tiered spiral is shown in the literature & by resin casts.
Callianassid tropical habitats - backreef lagoons, adjacent to & within coral reefs, leeward shelf of isolated platforms, platform shelves.
There’s probably >1 species of callianassid on San Salvador Island.
Shallow subtidal = backreef lagoonal environments & tidal channel environments.
Graham’s Harbour - it's ~1.5 m down to bedrock at the beach; bare areas are heavily callianassid burrowed & in grassbeds (despite what the literature says).
An excurrent structure occurs at the tip of the mound (sand volcano). An incurrent structure occurs at the base.
The pockets of burrows accumulate coarser-grained sediments, but this hasn’t been seen yet in the rock record.
Ophiomorpha walls are quite thick - up to 1 cm thick. Can get giant callianassid Ophiomorpha tunnels.
Ophiomorpha walls are a mix of sediments and fecal pellets (fine-grained sediments/mud).
Some have shafts/tunnels with blind endings (terminus structures).
Have also seen examples from Exuma and Rum Cay and from a stromatolite-bearing tidal channel at Lee Stocking Island (all in the Bahamas).
Some Ophiomorpha burrows have incorporated shells.
Shafts/tunnels are commonly 1.5 to 4 cm wide.
Favriina coprolites - callianassid fecal pellets - have networks of holes within them - the pattern is species-specific.
Ichnogenic macroporosity:
1) intraburrow porosity - tube interior
2) interburrow porosity - between burrows (in close proximity) - they form a framework - in such situations, the matrix is more likely to be removed than the framework itself.
Cockburn Town Fossil Reef on San Salvador Island - can see both intraburrow and interburrow porosity. Do the porosity patterns seen here occur at depth?
Miami Limestone & Biscayne Aquifer - the main water supply in southern Florida.
Floridan Aquifer - a deeper aquifer than Biscayne.
Biscayne Aquifer porosity - matrix porosity (mm scale or less) + macroporosity (caves & Ophiomorpha burrows).
Miami Limestone - cf. ooid shoals (intertidal/shallow subtidal of Joulter Cay - callianassids occur there).
Miami Zoo - the blocks that animals climb on & the facing stones there have Ophiomorpha ichnofabric.
Miami Limestone - air-rock - largely pore space - both intraburrow and interburrow porosity are present from lots of Ophiomorpha.
Florida's Alice Wainwright Park has Miami Limestone with Ophiomorpha, from Glypturus acanthochinus callianassid shrimp - have tiered spiral burrows. There is >1 Ophiomorpha maker species, apparently.
Examples of ichnogenic macroporosity:
1) Ophiomorpha macroporosity - Miami Limestone of southern Florida & Upper Pleistocene of Bahamas.
2) Thalassinoides (www.southampton.ac.uk/~imw/jpg-Portland-Harbour/8PTH-U-Sa...) (Ex: superperm in the Ghawar Oil Field, Arabia)
3) mangroves

I witnessed this odd wasp behavior today. Here is a Yellowjacket-type wasp (Vespula, Vespidae, Hymenoptera) curled up under a leaf of of Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia, Fagaceae). It's grasping some insect part - maybe the thorax of a bee? - turning it around and around. It reminded me of a wasp wrapping its prey. I watched it for a couple of minutes and took my eye off it for a moment to follow a different fly - and when I looked back, the wasp was gone. Most peculiar, I wonder what was going on? This isn't the best photo, but I wanted a record of what I saw. (San Marcos Pass, 12 October 2018)
This is a cropped version of the previous image, with the chair and sweater of image #0827 canvased and cloned into the bottom, in order to make it a vertical image.
