Adam Dipert has held positions at multiple universities and labs in the US (NC State, Duke, Arizona State, Los Alamos) by day and been a professional circus performer by night, with a specialty in developing dance moves for outer space. His research playground includes custom zero-g analog apparatuses, rotating rooms, pools, floatation tanks, and wind tunnels, all to understand human movement in microgravity. Despite his adventurous spirit, he's yet to convince NASA to let him spin fire on the ISS.
