Judith Lapierre

Judith Lapierre is a professor in Nursing at the Université Laval. She studied at the International Space University in France.

In 1999, Lapierre 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.NBC News, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130404000859/http://www.nbcnews.com/id/6955149 Does Mars need women?
