Judith Lapierre

Judith Lapierre is a Quebec-born professor of nursing at the Université Laval. She studied at the International Space University in France. She is trained in psychology and sociology and is a health promotions specialist.

LaPierre was selected for the mission aboard the International Space Station (SFINCCS) in 1999. She later accused two Russian cosmonauts of sexual harassment after a 110-day simulation of space station living. Among the claims were an unwarranted kiss during a New Year's Celebration; project coordinator Valery Gushin later claimed that her "refusing to be kissed" had been a leading cause for the experiment's failure. Mary Roach documents the incident in her work Packing for Mars amongst other summaries of the stress of confined environments amongst austronauts. Provided by Wikipedia
