Tamarack "Tam" R. Czarnik is an American medical researcher, notable for space advocacy and academic studies of human physiology in extreme environmental conditions.[3] [4] [5] Czarnik is especially known for his scientific contributions to space medicine as well as a better understanding of such phenomena as ebullism[6] and uncontrolled decompression.[7] He is the author of a number of publications in the domain of bioastronautics including "Ebullism at 1 million feet: Surviving Rapid/Explosive Decompression"[8] and "Medical emergencies in space".[9] Czarnik was at the origin of the Mars Society Chapter foundation in Dayton, Ohio,[10] and also served as the chapter's first Chair.[11] [12] From 2001 to 2011, Czarnik served in several missions as Medical Director for the Mars Society's FMARS[13] [4] and MDRS, simulated Mars habitats.[14] [15]

Background and medical career

Tam Czarnik is originally from Wisconsin.[2] He graduated with honors[16] from Ohio State University College of Medicine in medicine residency in Casper, WY.[2] [17] During his medical career as a family doctor, Czarnik was affiliated with many hospitals including Marbleton/Big Piney Clinic,[4] [18] Altru Hospital (Nelson County Health System) and more.[19] Beginning in September 2009, he worked as a family practice physician in McVille, ND and other nearby locations until his retirement in 2019.[20]

Aerospace medical research and the Mars Society

After completing his first residency, Czarnik pursued additional training in aerospace medicine at Wright State University.[21] During his residency in Aerospace Medicine and Hypobaric Medicine, Czarnik's research mainly focused on studies of space exposure and the effect of spaceflight on the human body including ebullism, decompression,[7] reactions to drugs, physical activity and medical treatment during spaceflight.[5] In 2004, Czarnik published his thesis on muscle degeneration in long-duration human spaceflight.[1] That same year, he graduated from WSU with an M.S degree. He also joined the Mars Society and was among the co-founders of its Ohio Chapter in Dayton in 1998.[10] During his activity in the Mars Society, Czarnik published a number of works that contributed to further development of aerospace medicine in the field of medical emergencies[22] [9] and integration of remote access medical devices into spacesuits, allowing remote diagnosis and treatment modalities in situ.[3]

His studies led him to participate in FMARS[13] [23] and MDRS[24] [15] [25] missions where he served as the medical director and flight surgeon[10] for several crew missions from 2001 to 2011. Czarnik is an ardent advocate of space exploration and the human exploration of Mars.[26]
